"As a result of this examination, it is my considered opinion that there exist among Dr. Tesla's papers and possessions no scientific notes, descriptions of hitherto unrevealed methods of devices, or actual apparatus which could be of significant value to this country or which would constitute a hazard in unfriendly hands. I can therefore see no technical or military reason why further custody of the property should be retained."
>"Nothing to see here folks... Move along now, Citizen..."
Is how I read that.
Of course there wasa lot of foundational work that Tesla had which would be of interest. Especially given the fact that very few engineers/people of the time were of his ilk...
Thus it would be of great import to have his work studied by others... and obfuscation and secrecy were the modus of the day.
I fully believe that Tesla had things which have benefited those who took his belongings upon death.
