But to be fair, there's always evidence that can be provided.
For instance, the Star Project from back in the day aimed to redevelop a new spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon. Nine billion US Dollars were spent, but the cost greatly exceeded the budget, leading to the project's abandonment.
If Karsten Hegge could tolerate that, then the Texas-based Superconducting Super Collider project, after spending over two billion US Dollars, was suspended due to audit overruns... The SSC remains a forever pain in the heart of the US high-energy physics community.
Regarding Karsten Hegge's complaints, the person on the video call expressed respect through silence, then changed the topic: "Alright, Professor Hegel, I roughly understand what you mean. What if I told you that Edward Witten was involved in drafting this report? How would you comment on that?"
"Edward? He endorsed this report?"
