My ears were burning...
Thanks for the support. Nice to read you, MC, in a forum not restricted to 140 characters. (FYI: I can allay at least one of your recent concerns: my latest drift probability analysis was my own work, albeit fed by probabilities generated by IPRC (U. of Hawaii). I can forward you the e-mail exchanges with them dating back to Jan.2016, if you have any lingering doubts. Also: I notice you have me "blocked" on Twitter - which is a shame, as I continue to appreciate your ship tracking maps. I hope this was unintentional - the only thing you've ever accused me of is drinking the IG kool-aid - which anyone who has read my sharp exchanges with ALSM and GuardedDon may find somewhat ironic...)
I agree, Mike, that the "technology" required to send us all to the SIO is a) the ability to paste the authentic log into a spreadsheet, b) the ability to perform basic algebra to reverse-engineer a desired path, and c) the ability to print to PDF. When the log came out, many people were concerned by the PDF format, for precisely this reason.
Every MH370 study I have ever undertaken has been to TEST either the Inmarsat data's authenticity or a particular interpretation of it, by comparing its predictions to the physical record. The only thing more amazing than the number of tests they fail is the number of people willing to work hard online to discredit these results...
It is long past due for a stiff audit of all search decisions taken since March 8, 2014. Regardless of our favourite perp or plot, I firmly believe we can rally around the simple fact that next of kin particularly - and the public generally - have been left far more in the dark than is acceptable. I've been saying for nearly two years, now, that turning over the rocks of official search agencies will uncover the truth far faster than will yet another run around the Inmarsat mulberry bush. While others have said the same - for just as long - it has been tiring and often lonely work, so it is very gratifying to see the desire to investigate the investigators finally beginning to gather some serious steam.
