I haven't taken any of the rebuttals as quite that, Craig, though I 
ain't read this one yet.

They're more *cautions* to people who don't understand the landscape as
to exactly what BB's piece means.

There is, I think, a more important underlying problem:

By the time you have a statistical read on a given model, they don't
sell that model anymore -- and even if they do, it may not be the same
drive; consumer drives rev pretty hard, whereas enterprise drives tend
to be pretty much the same over their lifetimes.

Cheers,
