JoeL,

They didn't show anything more because they didn't have anything else
ready to show. Do you have any idea how much effort it takes to fake
a sonar map? To come up with anything more will take a lot more
fake data  which is complicated by the fact that to appear credible
it should more or less match the WKPP map. This is not easy to
automate.
