Apparently, he just wants all of the numbers so he can run the equations himself, rather than saying that it can't be done.

A simple misunderstanding may be the case; Aerohead said late in the thread, "I wanted to stress the importance of scientific rigor."

But right at the start they dismissed it all as a "parlor trick". That definitely gives the impression they think it's just, well, a trick, rather than saying "I believe it's possible but they're not providing enough direct measurements and data to prove to an audience they actually accomplished it". So it feels to me like a misunderstanding of Aeroheads positions is understandable, and that posts of goals have been moved at least somewhat, if perhaps unintentionally.

Especially if it ends up being "there's NO way they can satisfactorily prove it to me via video".
