Fair point. And ouch, I think. Just so it's clear, I'm not their colleague -- and the contractors in question weren't obligated to praise CMS. I'd hoped that readers would find the perspective of the writer useful, in addition to the comments of the principals, whose interests are obvious. Thank you for the feedback.

"and the contractors in question weren't obligated to praise CMS"

If you are a government contractor and some reporter asks you about a government project, the response is going to be positive (or at least obfuscated) unless you would like to have no more government contracts.
