Get real. No cues point into the direction they are ahead. They are trying to go as fast as they can. That's good enough for me. The story is goog enough the way it is. No need to make up stuff. Let them run the show. Let the NR speak for themselves. Compare schedules to actual advancement... thats the best way to know where a project stands. Demonstration of 4N was originally planned for Q1 2016... We got it in Q4 2016. If we were to take that progress mark from the orginal planning, we are more than 6 months late. But the idea is to go farward as fast as possible! Period!
LeMarcus, thank you for trying to protect the facts in this post-truth era. I can't deny that some items have slipped as per the original schedule.
But I will say a few things, because I am stubborn like you:
Let's talk about "original planning" and schedules. When was the original timing for achieving 4N+ with subpar quartz feed supposed to be? Oh wait, nailing 3-4N with low quality quartz wasn't even on the original schedule, I guess we are infinitely ahead of schedule on that one - and that is probably the most important milestone to date.
"Let the NR's speak for themselves". I do, I also let Bernard from HPQ speak for himself. On January 26, 2017 the PYR/HPQ news reports stated that 36 tests had been done to date. Then on January 31st Bernard was interviewed by Agoracom where he had stated they had already done 60 tests. Perhaps they did even more than the original tests scheduled for the end of January (which was only 50) and we just have to wait for the results.
Some items slide, others will surprise. You can interpret PYR's/HPQ's progress as being 6 months late as per the original planning, I say the original plan has been reinvented now that 3N is in the bag using $hit feedstock and we are years ahead of the competition.
And, letting NR's speak for themselves, HPQ just announced they are raising funds for the "rapid advancement" of Purevap. Could just be rhetorical language, but "rapid advancement" does literally suggest moving forward at a faster pace (if we aren't trying to read between the lines).
I guess, you will agree to pay me a beer when the purevap starts to operate(Hot Commissing) on or after the current timeline. How about that! I'll buy you a beer if they are ahead of schedule, and hot commissionning starts before november 2017! Even if it's October 31st!
