If that was your point, why all the exaggeration of CSCO options expenses and stubborn refusal to consider that unvested options are as unearned as your paycheck of a year from now, and no more of an expense today? Why not just say "OK, my calculations were wrong, but my point holds" and "Fine - expense them as they are earned, as long as you expense them at fair value measured at grant"? Why start in with personal attacks like "you're the type of person that gives CFOs a bad name"? Could it be that your "point" wasn't that at all, but rather to attack anyone who dared to challenge your indictment of the entire technology sector of American industry along with its CEOs and CFOs, or who dared to correct your grossly erroneous claims as to what is "the truth"?
