wow-i heard the opposite. the gov and bp were both running for cover-why would they overestimate. bp was getting fined by the gallon, i can't see them saying there was MORE rather than less. sorry just don't buy it.
BP wasn't overestimating, they US government was... because BP was paying them by the gallon. BP got hammered by the whole country when they tried to say it was a lower rate of flow.
MMS, a goverment agency, was running for cover because of it's bad practices concerning offshore safety.
