Robot, could you paraphrase what is said in the link and tell us what you agree with and disagree with?
I won't bother with the link since interviews are set ups to tell what they want people to hear, pique some interest in the show. (I worked in radio 11 years, done it myself.)
I let my eyes tell me what I'm seeing. I also program which requires logic and reasoning skills.
First, I like the program for what it is. Second, I like Marty and Rick. They are REAL people who WANT to solve this "mystery."
But they have a quandary. They have a good deal of money tied up in property. Without the idea there is treasure, they stand to lose millions.
Go back to the last page and look at that screen capture. Do you see anything in the Money pit area or Smith's Cove denoted as treasure? No?
Do you think Marty and Rick didn't immediately zero in on those two areas? You betcha!
They know if they dig in other areas and find silver and good stuff, then the NMRI is right. If NMRI technology works then the Money Pit and Smith's Cove are dry holes.
That's why Marty has to question the NMRI technology.
How does Jack's hole play into it? Well, what would have happened if Jack had drilled down and found a tunnel with gold? That would prove NMRI technology works.
If NMRI technology works, then the Money Pit and Smith's cove are dry holes.
Jack had to fail to bolster the idea put forth by Marty that NMRI technology is suspect. There could be many reasons Jack failed. (transposed GPS reading, % of deflection of the auger, % of error for the NMRI, so I am not saying Jack failed intentionally).
At any rate, please paraphrase the link so we all have a basis for what it says. And what you think.
