Wiggles, I know we're talking semantics, but it seems to me that "not uncomfortable with analysts estimates" leaves room for an upside surprise. If they were "comfortable" with the analysts estimates and then gave a big upside surprise, then they could be accused of misleading the analysts. However, being "not uncomfortable" with estimates means they shouldn't be under estimates, and the numbers the analysts are touting 'should' be 'at least' attainable.
