> Reasons aside No. Reasons not aside. Reasons are very important.

  If we don't know what the reason was, and they won't elaborate on it, what importance does it have? Pwn2Own 2016 already happened. Firefox wasn't included, for whatever reason. The damage is already done at this point, as its exclusion created the impression that it was "not worth attacking". If the guys had said, "We didn't bother with Firefox because they weren't willing to pay us as much as Google or Microsoft", okay. But they didn't. What they said was: 'We wanted to focus on the browsers that have made serious security improvements in the last year,' Brian Gorenc, manager of Vulnerability Research at HPE said." And now Firefox looks weak by comparison.

    > If the guys had said Why would they have said that, even if it were true? What's the upside for them? I agree the net result is the same whether they were honest or not, of course, which is again why there was no upside for them to say that if it were true.
