    The demonstration was by invitation only as was the trip onboard the research boat. My mistake was indeed letting the device leave the shop without me. At the time, I did not feel that Green in front, Red in rear was too difficult for a person with a decade of experience in fisheries and a Phd from a major university to understand. Obviously he either was not paying any attention or had someone else install the device with no instructions.
    Regardless, it was a learning experience and from that time forward I kept a tight leash on any new prototype gear being evaluated.

    Go IN the GREEN, stop on the RED. Seems pretty simple, eh?
    Perhaps he felt that if there was a 50% chance it would be installed correctly, that was good enough?
    A virtual coin flip was all it took to scuttle that product launch.
    Threaten to take him to small claims court, with the video and a copy of your instructions, if he won't issue a retraction.
    Intelligent enough to get a PHD, too proud to admit he made a mistake.
    An unfortunate confluence.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.
