GVTucker, re "Intel's implied volatility is usually closer to 30 than 50."

I chose the 50% based on Intel's assumptions for calculating the fair-value of options for 2003, 02, and 01. Intel assumed 54, 49, and 47% respectively. sec.gov

With actual volatility closer to 30%, Intel would be significantly overstating the value of its options. Why would they do that?
