All we are assuming is that MIT did right by the evidence that none of us have...

Not "total" sense, but more sense than assuming impropriety by MIT, without evidence.

We are now at 8 pages of repeating the same thing on both sides. Until new information is shared on the content of what the conversations were from both parties, thread is closed.
