CNET = estimates (Q1)
NYTs = real numbers (January)

There are no real numbers. NYT never said that 19 million was the number of displays that had been ordered, that is just something that you are sure that they are implying.

Right, because he is really going to give an estimate now, so close to the day when Apple will show their results, to point out how wrong he can be not just in predicting the market trends, but in figuring out how the market was last quarter.

So in your opinion one quarter's sales don't have an impact on next quarter's order?

You are seriously saying that by pointing out the obviously huge flaw in the argument I'm essentially agreeing with it?
