Remember, its the effect of the rebates, not the wording. If the effect is coercive, they're coercive.

Your reasoning gets more bizarre by the post. By your reasoning, AMD has the power to make Intel's contracts coercive by not offering a compelling alternative. Furthermore, a product, by itself, could be so compelling as to make it's mere offering coercive.

The only way to establish competition is to enforce mediocrity. Superior products, superior service and superior pricing is anti-competitive if it is compelling.

What a world you must live in.
