Furthermore, the company has bought back 3X the number of shares granted in options. There goes your dilution theory and you're proving the witch hunt theory.

The options themselves cause dilution but that shows as an increase in the number of shares. I don't see the need to also count it as an expense. The buybacks reduce or eliminate the dilution but are an expense to the company. Are they treated as an expense according to GAAP and Intel's reports? If so I don't see any problems.
