he used the word 'supposed' re: channel stuffing but the impact/implication was/is/will-be the same --- it wasn't that he KNEW or that HWP/CPQ DID

A little hard to reduce inventory by 1.7 billion and increase inventory turns while stuffing the channel. Also remember that over 60% is now direct sales. How do you stuff the channel on that?

Did he also bring up the accounting change like it was a revelation? I think these guys are working to keep a wide arb spread at this point.
