Panic, Tom's article is a perfect example of what Rich Surckla on the RMBS thread calls "tuning the fiddle." Here's what he said:

My grandfather was an old time fiddler. He would pick up his fiddle and play music. Then he would say, "It's not right. It's out of tune." Then he would proceed to tune the fiddle. After it was tuned he would play the same music and say, "That's better. It's tuned now." And I would say, "But Grandpa the music sounds the same as it did before you tuned the fiddle?" And he looked at me and said, "But I know the difference and you don't. And unless you or anyone else knows as much about tuning a fiddle as I do then you will never be able to tell the difference."

In any case, I knew you guys would get a kick out of Tom's well-written BS. It pretty much sums up all of the arguments against Intel into one coherently written article, complete with half-truths and twisted logic. And its purpose is to make the not-so-knowledgeable believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Intel is doomed, i.e. "tuning the fiddle."

I could point out every single flaw in that article, but it wouldn't be worth my time. Suffice to say that I bookmarked the article, and I look forward to revisiting it one year from now.
