Petz Explain how a 1% increase in non-flash ICG sales could result in double the loss. I don't feel the need. It's sufficient to show that there are so many variables that the only reason you draw the conclusion you do is because you want to. You have no information on what the business conditions were like for the wireless divisions, the cellular and handheld, the XScale, the networking, the automotive, the embedded x86 or other uControllers etc. You don't know what the hiring was, the R&D etc. You have no idea what the product mix was so you assume what you want to draw the conclusion you want. All you know is that the cumulative revenue was essentally flat so you assume the earnings were too, therefore to suit your purposes you attribute the difference to Flash. I'm not going to stand in your way, just don't expect me to pretent it's true.
