I'm not touchy about it. I don't even mind you asking...
I just think most folks would rather believe the spin that's put on something, rather than check it out for themselves.
FWIW, it's pretty hard to fool petroleum engineers, geologists, and more importantly...the guy that writes the checks into a $2M frack job on a well, if it doesn't work and return their money post haste.
It would be even harder to fool them all a second time. Not to mention thousands of times.
As they say, why reinvent the wheel? I figured we had some smart folks here at the Fire who could provide the counterpoints to what the man was saying. I'd never heard that particular argument from an economics standpoint before on this particular subject. On its face, unless the man's making stuff up, it seems compelling. I did get one such response, which I was appreciative of.
