It was not a prediction or a joke or spin. Just a possibility.

If I were a SUNW shareholder, his comments would make me uncomfortable. SUNW certainly made use of pro forma over the last few years as a way to inflate stock price.

Some of your criticisms of this burden on the CEO are valid, but there are many burdens on a CEO so why can't he complain about it but shoulder the burden anyway? Why is he hinting that he is not going to certify the results? What is his alternative, and would he really take that alternative just because it is a grouchy task he would rather not do? I don't think so. Something may be up with SUNW.

I think he already signs the 10-K's. I don't think he is an accountant, so about all he's capable of signing is something to the effect that he's not aware of any hanky-panky. Surely nobody expects him to personally watch every transaction that hits the till.

I think it's a goofy regulation.

JMHO.
