I like to point out to Brendan that my argument does (and should) not 
become any stronger (or weaker) by virtue of who I am.  This is not how 
forums work.

[I know for a fact that there are participants here who are more qualified 
and have more experience than I, but who participate using pseudonyms for 
good reasons.]

If there are any "facts" (F1 through F5) that are not true, or not relevant 
for that matter, please point this out.

I stated this clearly in two places in my assessment, and my assessment was 
made taking this "proprietary" argument into consideration.

I am not seeking any assurance.  I simply made an assessment, as I 
routinely do for clients in the course of my work.  It so happens I chose 
to share one of these (with the client's permission) here in response to 
battering from certain quarters.

The purpose of the assessment is not to berate Philips.  If what you say is 
right, there is little point in posting in this forum an opinion that is 
not flattering to Philips.  As an independent I prefer to call it as it is 
without fear or favour.

With due respect, please get your facts right.  I am not the one 
persisting.  I was simply responding to a an open question from another 
poster.  I think Philips has responded as well as it could under the 
circumstances.

It is their responses (and not my questions) that undermines (or 
strengthens) their claims.
