Frankly, and this may be a great disservice to you, I just skim your lengthy posts.
IMO, you are into a tedious, unproductive, can of worms.
I should say two cans, one of MPVD worms, and the other DeBs' worms. I am sure that there are many dissimilarities, simply from accounting practices, much less write-offs, carry-forwards, and other accounting practices that are beyond my ken.
So I have to plead guilty to not really knowing/understanding what you have posted.
I'm sure that the two companies would love to screw the other the best they can, and they both know the other's desire in this respect.
As far as I'm concerned, I don't think DeBes is screwing DD - in this regard, he's my security blanket.
So, frankly, I think your peeing into the wind.
In DD I Trust (in this regard.)
