The refusal of people to put their names to obsensibly major studies certainly does not do much to encourage respect let alone critical review and engagement. It is a bit like UFO proponents who claim anonymous sources for their claims. Put up or shut up.

No do extravagant claims about "twice the mass on half the budget". That is easy to say and hard to believe when they are using a smaller launcher and haven't put together any hardware. Or that they can replaces both Ares I and Ares V when their proposed rockets appear either too large or too small for the task.
