However reasonable your explanations may be, the gist of your DTS article
and the most important thing for comparison were the speedup numbers. After
what we discovered and what you just posted, it is clear that they are
based on very shaky foundations.

What's far worse, until you were directly accused, there was no indication
whatsoever for all the fiddling that was done with the auxiliary data. When
you were accused, you denied again, until other people supported Vincent's
point of view, when you suddenly got an email from an unknown person you're
not willing to disclose that 'refreshed your memory'.

Additionally, the only other thing to support DTS, you PhD thesis, appears
to be basically totally unfindable for third parties.

I hope you realize that a request from you to trust your numbers isn't
very convincing. In fact, with what we know now, I'm pretty sure the
article would never have gotten published in the first place.

If Vincent wanted to discredit your results, then as far as I'm concerned,
he's succeeded 100%.
