Something worth considering....
(It’s like being married and going to your spouse and saying, “I bought you a new car today”, knowing you are on her crap list for missing your wedding anniversary two days prior. Although she is still disappointed with the oversight, the gesture of the new car does bring a sentiment of forgiveness. Two days later she asks the whereabouts of her new car? You tell her, you wanted her to have leather interior so you had to special order the car from the dealership and you’re waiting for it’s arrival. Meanwhile, you know you never went to the dealership yet to purchase the car. Now, you must scramble to the dealership to purchase this car that you supposively already bought. You talk to a salesperson, discussing the make, model, and features. They have the car, but there is one problem! Your wife wants a white car and they only have a red car. Since you have already discussed these specifics with your wife, there is only one solution. You decide to special order the car and the dealership states it will take three months. More delays! For weeks you wife is excited and eager to receive her new car. You try to appease her inquiries by saying the dealership called and it should be here shortly, the leather was imported from Italy and taking a little longer than expected. As days continue to pass, eventually her excitement seems to transform into disappointment.....
If you take a step back and look at the scenario, were did or does the problem originally exist? Well, you specifically went to your wife and told her you bought her a car. You did this with the intention of rectifying the oversight of your wedding anniversary. It was a gesture to seek the forgiveness and approval of your wife once again. Was this statement about buying her a car the truth or a lie? Essentially, a lie. Did you chase your own words to bring truth to that lie, yes? Perhaps you had good intentions from the beginning, but you clearly stated to your wife that you bought her a car as opposed to stating that you were intending on buying her a car. Clearly a much different choice of words in which one statement is a lie or the stretching of the truth, and one statement would have reflected the truth, if it was your intention to buy her a car.
This is only a scenario I have considered based upon the history of statements tweeted by Steve regarding ONCI. I’m not stating this is what happened, but simply a consideration. (Statements are often made knowing they have the ability to keep a share price propped).
All in my opinion.
