I guess that we're looking at the same events and interpreting them
differently. I'm just guessing when I say the REASON the Exec was pre
announced so early was due to _market factors_, not just a stupid mistake,
but if that is true (and I do believe it is) then the drop off in sales
would have occured anyway (even if at a slower rate, it would have still
sounded the death toll for the company).
I understand your perspective, and you may be 100% correct… I just tend
to believe that marketing decisions that appear to be stupid to outsiders,
(even non-marketers on the inside ala CBM), have their roots in the
not-so-obvious (and therefore appear to be stupid blunders).
