Well, if you study the history of this thread,
you'd see that David has a background with leading
companies related to digital video. I don't find
it odd that he'd share his knowledge by providing
some realistic viewpoints as a counter to the
"see no evil" crowd. What I do find odd is that
many harped on him for this, despite his consistent
track record. I, for one, am glad for his point of
view. It made me rethink a decision to invest in MPEG.
Perhaps MPEG will someday hit it big, but I'll need
more than hype before spending my hard earned dollars...

Darpa...

Sounds like you and the other MPEG investors are the ones that spent the time on something that would provide no financial return, not David.
Why no talk of a lawsuit against the false claims of the company instead of blaming David for accurately predicting the outcome?
