Re: Not that Karl doesn't do a good job, but... Well, what do we reliably know about number-crunchers, these days?
They are not about objective results and answers. They are about ledgerdemane, cheap tricks of the parlor mesmerist, making the numbers dance, sing and play the guitar, so the CEO gets the news he wants to get and his quarterly guidance calls to analysts and SEC reports are placed in the best possible light. Truth is considered inimical to goals and objectives and raises holy hell on risk management.
You can bet that same ethos exists in these broadband penetration reports as well. |
