Well, maybe the semantics you and I are using are different, but I distinctly remember reading a study on tech company (including Cisco) stock options that showed conclusively that had Cisco recorded B.S. stock options expense in the bubble years, the estimate would have been ALOT higher than if they recorded them now. So the conclusion of that study was that aberrationg in the stock market like the bubble and the ensuing crash caused B.S. expenses to be distorted. However, the other conclusion was that in 95% of the data, B.S. was remarkably accurate. I sure wish I had saved the link to that study. I'd have loved to post it, but I'll keep an eye out for it and post it if I find it again.
