Frank,

There have been dozens of networkers that were going to knock off Cisco, but based on GG theory, it's not going to happen.

Do you mind if I clarify that?

GG theory says it won't happen using continuous innovations but GG theory also says it could happen using a discontinuous innovation that displaces Cisco's technology. The corollary is that Cisco, being a gorilla, can ONLY be displaced by a discontinuous innovation so the chances are small.
