I fully understand that this was never planned as a record attempt. But TCT's team made assertions up front about intentions and they declare that these intentions have been fulfilled.
I wonder how an independant adjudicator would assess their actual performance against the initial objectives, if this had been a record attempt?
This project could easily have been positioned as a heart-breaking failure in the face of immense personal and practical strife, and we might all be applauding and supportive.
The public speaking would still be there; the book (heaven help us!) would still be a best seller; the TV show would still attract millions.
Maybe she has just been very badly advised by her team, and it's they who should be exposed, and not her.
Or maybe she really is in the driving seat?
