Regardless of the he said/she said, to work through this issue, it would help if it was taken down a notch. From what I read I emphasize with all sides here. But I would prefer it get worked out, rather then we declare one side a debate winner. I also like it kept online, so we can follow along, but it has to be civil. The point about this site being tough maybe accurate, and I think when these things go personal it takes the wind out of the sails of those who are through their own creativity trying to move the hobby forward. I sure the budget turbo project is paying attention to this outcome, same for revered new 855 tranny, and I know I would.
Since I haven't bought the gear box, but would consider it, I hope I am still inline to comment

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
