Copernicus, I hope that even you admit that the info they had provided was half info at the very best. Partial information only leads to speculations.
There are only two proper ways to deal with things like that: full disclosure (100%) or no info at all (0%).
Now we are talking! If they had released all this info as and when those things were happening, that would have been an entirely different song! That would have been something to write home about and praise them for openness and all that jazz.
