Reply #18: Let me see if I understand this correctly

Citizens were supposed to somehow "know" that you and along with some undisclosed list of other individuals were "working on" a study for several years, although the existence of this study, what was being studied, and who was doing the study was never publicly announced.

Because of this unrevealed "study" by person or persons unknown, everyone else in the United States was supposed to accept on faith that somebody was doing "studies" and, therefore, do no studies of their own.

Why would you expect the entire United States of America to sit still waiting for a single study that has never been announced?
