hmaly, <...your theory is all inclusive because you said for any reason If you don't want to include the logical absudities, you need to alter your theory to exclude them.> I clarified my position on your hypothetical situation in a subsequent post to you and whereas I don't think that it is very pertinent to our discussion to compare a natural disaster to infrastructure planning issues I think that post is a very good description of my position, For brevity I will not review it here but you should read it if you haven't seen it yet. <Here we have two diametrically opposed sentences. In the first you blame mngt. for lack of infrastructure' but in the second you say on the whole they have performed magnificently> Deliberately twisting my point does not make it diametrically opposed, I meant that in my opinion the lack of infrastructure was a specific failing but the other positives of AMD's performance outweighed that negative aspect and that "on the whole' they performed magnificently. Things aren't always black and white and the "on the whole" part of it keeps the statement congruent. I am saying that even though AMD made a specific failing there were other compensating factors in their overall performance. Do you understand? <I am assuming you are responding to a recent post of mine in which I was talking about Intel being chosen by IBM. I believe that was pure luck.> Hehe, nope I must have missed that one. I was referring to a post that was linked from another board claiming that AMD's success was all just due to a few lucky critical breaks. I don't think AMD's success is luck but I don't think their failings should be overlooked either. Regards, Epinephrine
