Ali, <So, interpretation of those $800M is still open.> That's right. But that is not what Albert said. He said Intel spent $800M, matter-of-factly. He did not say, as you did, that it could be any amount in this range. The article is clear on this, it was Albert who was not. <Do you know the exact spending numbers to refute Albert's interpretation?> No, and neither do you or Albert, but that did not stop Albert from claiming Intel is spending $800M. <Can a reader propose his own interpretation of the vague facts presented in an article?> So I can misinform and use "my right to interpret" as an excuse? At what point does my interpretation become false information? It is not the poster who decides, it is the reader's. His post would mislead the casual reader and Paul set him straight. In fact, I can argue that this is exactly what Paul is doing (interpreting), yet Paul's interpretations bother you? Bottom line, you asked for a single example and I gave you one. The fact that you can't accept that is your problem. SK
