Worse.

Not only is all that true, but the work required to reduce these data
takes weeks.

Spectrogram and spectrograph production from data is easily automated.

At the Tuesday press conference (and I very much
appreciate their keeping us informed regularly,

I am so happy that you are so happy remaining ignorant.

they are under no
obligation to do that either)

Nor are they obliged to be assholes, they actively choose it.

it was suggested we might see some general
results on Thursday.

Which we didn't.

So to sum up our ignorant friend is just being an impatient jerk.

You may post your retraction here at your convenience, as the evidence
