I think I talked about this last week.
I think they're in deep, deep trouble because they don't have have cost leadership.
So when I go off and rate myself, I did pretty well with my
predictions.
I hope some of you acted on them.
That would have been fun for you if you had.
But I think there's two things I should say about that, right?
The first is we build models of market penetration, transition, cost curves, and we use those models to inform
what we think is going to happen over the next year or two years.
So it's actually reasonably easy to look at those models and say, okay, where do we think things are going to go?
But there is also a problem with coming out with predictions that you get seven out of seven right.
It means you didn't try hard enough.
It means I didn't push the boundaries enough.
Was I really just, you know, sandbagging a little bit and giving myself an easy response?
job.
I mean, I'd love your views on that.
