Great laughs. You're a very funny guy. And right too. So you offer wonderful entertainment (that is, Schadenfreude for you), regardless of the missing sarc marks. My question for you as a guy in the oil and gas business is, why do the E&P companies even order and pay for the reports from the independent reserve engineers such as Neverland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (misspellng intended) and their ilk? I can certainly understand how the opined values could suffer by 20%, 30% or 40% when a company enters bankruptcy. But I don't get the delta from $6 billion down to $700 million. Does NS&A never have to explain? I'm wondering who is their E&O carrier.
