If There's Nothing to Hide, Why Are They Hidding It?

SEE HERE UVA is covering Mann's sorry butt. It's hard to understand why unless they are also covering their own. Mann's hockey stick is a clear fudge exposed by one of my former teachers from George Mason, Ed Wegman, who I can tell you is the real deal. Wegman said it was nonsense, well not in those words exactly but it pretty much meant that. You could get a hockey stick by feeding in random data. That's a pretty powerful fudge and obviously means the data doesn't matter. So why is UVA covering from Mann? Whatever is going on they appear to be in clear violation of the law.
