"It is a lot easier as well as more accurate just to use the Black-Scholes calculation in the financials."

This is nonsense. A fuzzy statistical forward-looking
estimate cannot be more accurate than on-going activity
of buying back shares at market value to give them away
to employees exercising their options. A company knows
exactly when and how much it paid for those commons, and
nothing could be easier and more accurate to expense
that part of stock repurchases.

I don't disagree that not all stock re-purchases at Intel
went directly into employee pockets, there might be some
fraction used for other purposes. However, nobody has
presented here a case that the other portion is of any
significant size, only FUD and hand-waiving on your side.
Given no evidence to the contrary, it is safer to assume
that most fraction of Intel stock buyback was in effect
a labor compensation.
