Proof that the story line was parsed out to the major
observatories can be found in the fact that in those early days
they were all reporting the comet head TO BE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Regardless of how you try to explain away their public
statements, if their verbiage and images BOTH are referring to a
dark place, a coma around a dark place, a bright spot, etc., when
they were talking about THE COMET HEAD, then they have recorded
for us dramatically that they were to ASSUME the nova was a comet
and do the best they could with the story line. Just failed to
coordinate properly, as no one expected ZetaTalk to begin picking
this apart!
Just why DID NASA consign exclusive rights of something the
public has PAID for to a Principle Investigator that has hidden
them for a year! Did he pay for this? He got this for FREE. Is
there any logic in hiding data from scientists? NONE! Why should
a PI be allowed first crack at data that others are excluded
from, when this data was not DEVELOPED AT HIS EXPENSE? This is
the rationale for data being withheld during research, that the
institutes backing the scientists spent their own money to secure
the data! Did Hal Weaver or his institution, Harvard, spend a
penny to put the Hubble up in the sky?
