I'm not surprised. I have experience: In 1989 I told people whom I knew well: In 5 years you are not going to recognize Siemens. Shock! They didn't get it. In 1991 I invited to Brazil a girl -who worked for airconditioning company Carrier and did a bit of extra time serving beer in a pub in Munchner Freiheit. (I have a weak heart for Bavarian ladies) I made the mistake to tell her to watch out, from a moment to the other she could have her carpet pulled out under her feet. Se didn't take that easy!! I passed by Munich in 1999 and we met for dinner. She told: It is getting hard and harder. I didn't have the heart to tell her: I told you so and it is bound to get harder even. In 1994, I told, once again Siemens guys, this what you are seeing is going to be the rule, this here is not the exception this is the rule. "Du lieber Gott!" was the reply. I gave up trying to put that perspective that only foreigner has -since he is not vested- because I came to the conclusion that the sign on an intelligent person is if he can see his own self-interest. If can't, he's doomed. And there is nothing you can do about it.
