The Committee would have then gotten your email with the message "no case to answer" and the phone conversation would have conveyed the same message to the esteemed group "Gentlemen, I can't tell you much more: there is no connection whatsoever between my program and program X". If I got things right, they actually got as much from Fritz Reul in their first and only phone conversation -- so much can be gathered at the CB site. Fritz then left home to sit for a math exam... Conclusion to be drawn: you would have been disqualified and banned by the Committee, just like Fritz Reul and List because you did not let the board examine your program code. I don't think that you would have liked that, being disqualified without any substantial evidence against you. They admit to having only "circumstantial evidence" though. Do you consider that sufficient to disqualify and ban an author and his program, and is this perhaps a dangerous way of opening the flood gates for future complaints based on suspicion, speculation and whatnot, without any substantial evidence?
