These are only my opinions based on what I read in this forum. I may be wrong. From what I can see, there are only a few people who influenced Morgan's decision about making his videos public. This is unfortunate for the others who did not criticize his demonstration, or expect it to be a test conducted to their standards instead of a demonstration. Maybe Morgan will reconsider making these videos available for the benefit of the majority of the readers who are politely waiting to see them, so they can know what his demonstration did show.

Best wishes,

Yes, it is indeed unfortunate for those of us who did not criticize his demonstration.

One point I would hasten to illustrate here. I think it is a little late to try and draw a clear distinction between the terms demonstration and test, if that is what you are now suggesting.

By your own pen; you used the terms rather interchangeably in your own posting:

On August 29 2009, Morgan began his live LRL demonstration to show any forum members who wish to see his LRLs performing in the field. He demonstrated several Mineoro models, a prototype pistol detector made by Alonos, a clone of the Alonso pistol that Morgan made, and several other LRLs he had in his collection. While the demonstration is open to all forum members, only Geo showed up to see the demonstrations and test the LRLs. Morgan also recruited a local skeptic to watch as well.

These demonstrations and tests are not done yet. They will continue a couple more days with videos and photos taken before they are done. Then we will see some reports and videos that can be accessed from links in this forum to see what they filmed during the demonstration and testing.

I really don't think there is any reason to now attempt a delineation between the terms demonstration and test. It is a moot point.

What I do think is important, is the assumption I and others made, and is in line with your own statement: "Then we will see some reports and videos that can be accessed from links in this forum to see what they filmed during the demonstration and testing."
