The problem with this commentary is this simple fact. If the TMT and UH didn't go through seven year vetting process and didn't allow the community to comment on this project, yes his commentary would have a lot of validity. However, the reality is this pure and simple. The community was allowed to comment on the project during the EIS process. No one stepped forward to contest the FEIS in 2010.
The CDUP contested case hearing officer also upheld the granting of the TMT's conservation district use permit in 2013. Several anti-telescope groups participated in this hearing process.
