Steve McIntyre said in October 2005:
As to why the Hockey Team is so keen on data secrecy, I have no idea. It makes them look bad for very little point – if I were coach of the Hockey Team, I’d tell them to stop acting like prima donnas, archive their data and get on with things. But that’s just me.
If I were an American citizen, I’d want to know why the bureaucrats who have been funding all this work have failed to include adequate contractual language in Jones’ contracts to ensure that there was archiving, just like there is for so many other D.O.E. programs.
If I were advising a congressional oversight committee, I’d sure add this to my list of questions.
If I were a D.O.E. manager who had funded these primadonnas, I’d tell them that, regardless of the technicalities of past contract language, if they wanted another nickel from me, they’d better get their asses in gear and set up a proper data archive – and they’d better do it by yesterday so I didn’t look like an idiot if I heard from some congressional committee.
McIntyre adds today:
I remind readers once again that I’ve consistently discouraged readers from thinking that Jones’ obstruction implies that there is some smoking gun in the CRUtem data. Quite frankly, I’ve always been a bit puzzled as to why Jones was so adamant about [not] archiving data. My own theory has been that it was to avoid showing precisely how little work went into it.
------------
So it was basically money for old rope. That's what all the secrecy is about. Protection of CRU's milch cow.
