Musk is filtering the NYT's response when he says:<p>"the Public Editor agreed that John Broder had “problems with precision and judgment," “took casual and imprecise notes” and made “few conclusions that are unassailable.”"<p>Let me try to cherry pick some points from the very same NYT response (1), spun towards the opposite conclusion:<p>"Mr. Musk presented his data "in the most damaging (and sometimes quite misleading) way possible" and "I am convinced that [Broder] . . . told the story as he experienced it."<p>My point isn't that my choice quotes above are accurate, but that Musk's assessment is disingenuous to the NYT's response, and that's in the first paragraph of his article.<p>I'm not sure what Musk is trying to accomplish at this point, his "spin" is transparent and it feels condescending.<p>Tesla's goodwill in my eyes is fast eroding.<p>(1) <a href="http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/problems-with-precision-and-judgment-but-not-integrity-in-tesla-test/" rel="nofollow">http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/problems-wi...</a>
