Step back and assume that 10 years ago Paul and I had written about
our plans to take over the software world, and had stated that we
felt that the only way to do that would be if Microsoft was found to
be actively creating the viruses that were crippling users machines.
That's roughly analogous to what the members of the Bush
Administration had done, only concerning Iraq instead of software.
Then a virus outbreak occurs, and there are many industry experts
writing their opinions about what caused this problem. We then
dismiss as "unreliable" anything that exonerates Microsoft, and
accept without fact-checking anything that damns Microsoft, even
though the overwhelming number of such opinions do not find any
direct Microsoft involvement.
To follow the analogy you started, our plan to take over the
software world fails miserably. We then blame the experts who claimed
that it was Microsoft's fault, and then rely on people like you to
swallow our excuses uncritically in the hope that you continue to
invest your money in Dabo Inc.
That's the correct analogy, and in it, Dabo Inc. looks as inept and
scheming as Bush Co.
