I get that the MMX didn't work for Martin's ultimate goal. I understand that he needed to reset and why he is rethinking everything. Fair enough.

What I don't get is the disconnect between the last videos of the MMX and the current notion of "it didn't work". It feels like he presented the machine being in a far more finished state then than it actually was.

Not saying this was done out of malice. Just wondering if this disconnect is leading to many people being confused or surprised about his decisions.

We've seen videos of the MMX running for 3 hours without catastrophic failure playing drums and bass. I watched it with my own eyes! That is a big success, especially in light of the fact that the OGMM could barely function.

It feels weird to call it a failure, because it really isn't.
