I don't know enough to say whether RCP is in the tank for McCain as 538 is alleging or not.

But I do know business. If you're a young, up-start up and comer in an IP-based business, it is to your distinct advantage to learn how the successes in your industry make their secret sauce. Sure, they disclose their own methodology, because they know it's not sought after.

This is the equivalent, to me, of an open-source developer getting pissed at Microsoft for not disclosing the source code for a new killer app.
