skippy isn't impressed by Lott's sleight of hand in proving he had a disk crash instead of offering evidence that he did a survey. skippy is rightly skeptical about the existence of witnesses to the disk crash. There are none. However, we do have plenty of evidence that Lott lost data in 1997 and told lots of people at the time he had lost the data in a disk crash, so I'm prepared to let him have the disk crash.

It is warped.
Well, the rim of its disk is.
