If the public is demanding proof...and you HAVE the proof, but are sitting on it for as long as you can so that the price of your females will plummet and then go UP UP UP, people WILL notice. If your business name is getting dragged through the mud due to nothing but public speculation and you HAVE the proof to squash all that speculation....what would you do? Hold onto it in the hopes that your females will be worth more money for a short period of time, while at the same public perception of your business rep is getting worse and worse?
Maybe I misunderstood mainbutter and that's not what he meant by that statement. But I stand by my point regardless, even if it's not relevant to mainbutter himself. (Which was all hypothetical in the first place, since I don't think he ever implied that he actually had breeding deserts or any direct knowledge of their breeding quirks.)
