I applaud your initiative. My eight year old son knows that week seven is the start of the arithmetic "back half" of the quarter ending in week thirteen.

However, "CEO-speak" is different. When you are traveling near the speed of light time takes on a different meaning.

Since his prior communications indicated a "mid-February" time-frame for the start of the contribution from "the fix", I suspect that he is now expecting fixed wafers with significantly improved speed distributions to go out the door around week ten or later.
