..And what's great is, if the Fool is right, then they are simply playing into Steve Jobs' hands.

..And if they're wrong, they're crediting Jobs when credit is not due. Either way, they lose.

This is exactly why I haven't blogged one peep about the price cut.

It's sort of a theory in search of a story, as if they had some Machiavelli boilerplate on their desktop, then copied in some information about Steve Jobs and the price cut.

Machiavelli is a bit of a cliche, I'd hope for something a little more interesting than pasting in a couple of quotes from the Prince.
