Part 5/7:
As the dialogue progresses, Jim Ritter maintains a firm stance that he cannot provide comments or elaborate on the existence of any discrepancies, emphasizing that the reports released were factual and adhere to a policy of confidentiality. He refers to the work being conducted on behalf of another agency and indicates that their role is limited to what has already been published.
Jeff expresses his frustration at the lack of responses and reiterates the need for answers to clear up what he believes are valid questions around the data. He aims to engage Ritter in a more constructive discussion regarding the inconsistencies but finds his efforts thwarted by Ritter's adherence to agency policy.
