The debate in capsule form

One of the more amazing aspects of the argument over REFR is the degree to which facts can be agreed upon, yet completely opposite conclusions drawn. For example:

Generally agreed-upon premise: "The success of SPD technology is entirely in the hands of REFR's licensees."
Bulls' conclusion: "It's in the hands of big companies, big enough to have the power to make it succeed."
Bears' conclusion: "It's in the hands of big companies, too big to care whether it succeeds."

Happy Thanksgiving, America!
