'So, 88E shareholders are on the brink of learning a lot about the 652 million barrels of oil targeted at the Merlin-2 well'

Initial part of post questioning the above:
'Great write up apart from the glaring factual inaccuracies. The BEST estimates for Merlin 2 are 329MMBO not his 1467MMBO which is about more than four fold out.'
Herein, 'lies' a difficulty - perfectly encapsulated in the above posts. Some current posters on our bb are using numbers as a form of manipulation. The context, juxtaposition and comparison of numbers is used to give a slanted view of our 88e. I suppose, in politics, it is called spin; outside of politics stronger nouns could apply. As I said in an earlier post, 'Oh, the games'. Here is a clear example of those 'games'. Of course, there could be a response referring to the number in parentheses; however, as this would provide further evidence of the 2nd poster wanting to hide the main point of the text it would be unwise. Beware such posters as this deluge of numerical 'spin' seems designed to squeeze out free thinking. As ever, VGL to investors here.
