Burj speculation

The "Eavesdrop" column of the current Architect's Newspaper (NY edition) mentions Adrian Smith's complaint that SOM is failing to credit him as the design partner for the Burj. My own theory is that the NY office felt that the Burj was a dog, and were therefore content to let Smith have the credit and take the fall. When it unexpectedly proved to be a hit, NY moved quickly to erase Smith from the picture. The obvious question AN should pose back: So who designed it, then?
