I'm thinking if Chris got a pre production sample and as he said that the lens was beat up ( if I remember ) Pentax probably didn't want people to get the impression of how the lens perfromed from a poor performing sample that has been thru hell and back. Like With Ned's 2 samples they simply asked that the images be pulled until they got a better performing production unit to him.
That said for all we know it was also a marketing ploy to show us ( with Chris's help ) that they are working on the lens and that it's not vapour ware, to stop guys like me from getting sigma 100-300 F4's now and just sit on the cash and wait till they announce the lens in a few weeks ( guestimate ) and they can stock the supply chain to.
Ok so lets stop bashing Pentax, after all the lens actually exists and should be out soon now.
Oh BTW Chris thanks alot for what you did manage to show us and we all hope you didn't get into too much trouble as you have given us hope that this lens will be our ca*** 70-200 F4L killer lens.
