As Dan said,

And what is it that they said? They said:

This is not very far from calling Ed a liar. And it does make them very, very
much smaller. All this after showing something that had "DBJ" written on it,
then when it loses saying that it was not the real DBJ.

It seems very likely that there were no falsities in the whole story, only
misunderstandings. But these misunderstanding are caused by the DB team and
their whole attitude of secrecy. This would not happen if they were more open
about DB, and if they let it play - or at least if, whey they show a DB box,
they were kind enough to say what it is and what it is not.

Ed certainly cannot be blamed. The DB team should be ashamed of what they said.
