"suspect" meaning speculate, as far as I can tell. not really anything to argue with on that front. I never denied there was a mistake. Cheating implies intent, which no one here can prove, so seems useless to debate. Open source development is awesome in that it keeps people to a high bar, let's just celebrate that the process clearly worked here, and not muck about in speculation and judgement of others intentions that we have essentially no evidence for.
