These companies have already given you up for lost! They don't want or need you back! I honestly think that no proof is going to satisfy you (speaking as a group). Your science is your religion and you'll go to great lengths to protect it - and you don't mind using someone else's money!

The cable companies apparently see no such burden of proof as that which you've placed on them. If you can convince them to do so, I salute you. You certainly haven't convinced me.
LOL, like I said before, anything is possible - it's just not probable. #3 reason is extremely far fetched. If they could show any meaningful evidence of the truth of their products, they would have done so long ago. There is no business in the world that wouldn't want further product penetration. It's just that their ROI, given the current state of testing, isn't going to be good. The nature of R&D in any reputable group of companies is to spend money to improve the product. R&D is also there to prove that their product actually does what the company says that it does.
