"Thst grant application was ambiguously worded." I was commenting on the actual application. Its pretty normal for what you submit and, yes, technical perfection is not a hallmark of granting. Ambiguously worded happens a lot particularly if there is a size limit to the application. I didn't comment if the intent actually matched what they told other people. If they mislead people is not really something I have knowledge of. I will say once again that I doubt they (or their successors) will have a shot of outside grants given the governance problem and the negative light it cast on Knight Foundation. It is an amazingly small world of grant organizations.
