Wong Gai · Private Investigator

The students asked questions. The machine supplied answers to something else. One end of that conversation has been moved.

The Tribune is concentrating on the question disks. Sensible. But names are evidence too. Hawking leads to Hawk. Hawk leads to wheels, ramps, sponsors and people very interested in where a name appears.

I have been asking skateboarders and promoters about that connection. Hootie has been asking who handled the school files. We are both investigating access. Mine happens to include ramps.

One detail deserves attention whichever route we take: a label can say one thing while the file says another. The discrepancy is real even if the name on top looks respectable.

The department wants the original disks left alone. I support that. Rewriting the label would make it much harder to ask why the wrong one was there.

Peter has described the interval between submission and display. I want to know who could move something through that interval. I also want to know why everybody is so certain a wheel cannot be involved.

Peter’s report records the public account. Hootie’s statement records what the department will put in writing. Compare those with what I noticed above.
