The longer I sit here and think about it...we are right. They could study the transcipt with a magnifying glass if they wanted to. But try a magnifying glass on an audio tape. Can't do it, can't read it, can't see the words, gotta HEAR the words.

Hey the redden tape is still available if you have 45 minutes to listen to DW being interupped by Redden.

You're right Knut! And we're all good looking and modest too! LOL

There are only a couple of reasons I can think of that they would want to hear the tape, as opposed to reading the transcript.

1. They want to assess, like you said, his demeanor. His manner, tone of voice, etc.

2. They don't trust the transcript(?). (Don't necessarily believe that one myself, but it's a logical reason.)

That's about all I can think of. Any other ideas as to why they might want the tape?
