I don't know if anyone in LHSA has a video of that address, but it would be interesting to review.

Perhaps that hints at one possible explanation for the breakdown of the Kaufmann/Lee relationship.
If Herr Kaufmann went public on the basis that a FF M8/M9 was do-able and on track for a photokina '08 announcement and was subsequently told otherwise, he may have felt embarrassed and angry at having to backtrack on that position.
