There are multiple tells in this deck based on the wording

It reads like fan fiction with a mixture of real data and "hey I have an idea". We all have ideas here, but the ones that stand out are based on clear reasoning with logical conclusions. And new ideas are explained for how they will work and why they will work. This deck is full of holes and huge jumps to conclusions the more I reread it.

As a public document they are likely withholding sensitive info
