Robert, Not as ridiculous as you may think. Intel has developed a driven culture that can be characterised as
"The emperor has no clothes".
Internal self criticism of the copmany gets stifled at all levels and people stop sticking their nose out, and thus gains are lost, error correction is hobbled.
This rot spreads as all the players from the top down say "all is well with Intel". Those that criticise are driven out in fact of in influence.
Large companies should have methods to discover and stop this effect and re-invent them selves...or their competitors will do it for them...look at AMD...now the leader...who woulda thunk it?

Robert - <Check out what is being said over on this other thread>

Thanks for the pointer. I don't plan on responding directly, unless provoked.

Needless to say, I disagree with the statement. Overall, Intel's Process Technology efforts have been a boon to the company and its shareholders, due to its balanced approach of device performance and yields (I'm talking fab process integration here).
