Re: I don't see any "renege"

He went back on the terms of his public challenge... then made up new pre-conditions that were never part of the original challenge.

That's a renege to me. :-)

Should be interesting to see where this goes now.

I suggest THESE TWO POSSIBLE OPTIONS:

1) Stick to the terms of his ORIGINAL public challenge (in which T. Boone gets to decide all by himself whether the evidence that is submitted meets his own personal definition for 'sufficient proof' --- but must hear the evidence in public.)

Or,

2) Toss all of that and go with the NEW, REVISED TERMS with the NUMEROUS PRECONDITIONS that he is now demanding --- but then give up the ability to be the sole arbiter of the question "has the challenge been won?", and turn it over to some neutral judge or arbiter that is mutually agreed to by both parties.

Wanna bet that ole T. Boone continues to hide behind his press flacks, continues to skedaddle away from his public pledge... and NEVER does EITHER of the two possibilities listed above?

That's how I'm betting....
