This was the point I was going to make. How much is truth and how much is playing games with the data to make it look the way Mesa wants it to (or to make the SL see what Mesa wants it to)? Things could be far worse than we think and Gweon is trying to get the SL to underestimate the severity of the problem or they could be better than he indicates but he's trying to panic them into doing (more) stupid things.
That possibility of duplicity is very amusing. But the question I posited in the one-liners thread before the transplant to here, is to what ends? What Machiavellian outcome could McGeon be cooking up?
I'm thinking, in my warped greedy 'battles' mind, that Mesa will supply better technology to the League, upgraded missiles for example, for another grand finale of baby chicks swimming out to near pike!
from one-liners thread...

Whitecold's analysis is frightening. You're suggesting that Captain McGweon is playing all of them as Byng was being played to commit 'hari kari.' After blowing smoke up Byng's ass it was easy to push that baby chick into a stream of near pike. Saved like O'Hanrahan for one big important lie cues...Pink Panther music.
