Guessing it's one of those instances where he doesn't want work from the general public but still wants to build motors. The secrecy is dumbfounding though.

Well, there's working on what you want to do vs. answering the phone & fielding questions...
I can understand it being kind of an insider deal.

I know plenty of guys like that. Pick and chose what they want to do and who they want to do it for. Cuts out the drama.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
