You don’t always have full control over which of those paths you follow, but priorities make a difference. If you are trying to maximize investment and return on investment, you do what will be most attractive to potential investors (without giving away the farm). If you’re a start-up ideas specialist, you may just push for a viable initiative, get venture backing, and then sell out to intermediate-stage growth specialists (that part of the game is boring to many inventor-startup types, anyway).
But LPP has, according to Eric as I read him, always had company growth and financial return as a weak third place priority, after making fusion energy readily available and applying it to the long list of issues it affects, and proving out Eric’s alternate magnetic/plasma-centric physics and astronomy. Keeping secrets and maximizing returns takes away from that, potentially and probably.

Getting back to Tri-Alpha for a moment, its technology purports to achieve steady-state pB11 fusion (at only “a million degrees” or so, according to some quotes). As one writer puts it, the design is “bewildering”. No kidding!
The temptation is strong to wonder who’s kidding whom. But that would be cynical. 8-/
