IMO the issue....

is not the info or presentation. It seems OK and has been updated for recent shifts(House settlement, etc.), however, the basic guts of the presentation are 5, 10, maybe even 15 or 20 years too late. Imagine the possible impact if these questions had been posed and critically analyzed in the early 2000s after the Sugar Bowl appearance OR much earlier in the Sands/Babcock tenure what might have been versus the present state of affairs?

As a public document they are likely withholding sensitive info
