describing Paul as … **not** “…somebody completely incompetent (that) would be able to derail the company”

As per previous posts it is simply a guess by any of us to decide what influence or credit Paul can or can't actually take. The idea that Paul is due no credit because Qcom is simply a worldwide, multi billion dollar corporation on auto pilot IMO is ridiculous. I wouldn't call the ex CEO of Nokia incompetent, but he chose to play it safe, sticking to his company's proven model and it was a huge mistake. In contrast Qcom gambled on the coming of the smartphone and shifted the R&D into high gear, and took this company from "promising" to the top of this market. Again, the idea that Paul had nothing to do with this brilliant move that companies like Intel envy is ridiculous. The best way to prove Paul's role would be to replace him at a time that Qcom is at the top of the game. Hey, the ex CEO from Nokia is available.
