proverbial rooster who egotistically thinks his crowing makes the sun come up.

Didn't know this proverb. I like it.

I disagree on the rest. Intel has demonstrated it always prefers PR-inventions over computer-arch-inventions for keeping its business alive when it can in the lack of competition. Quite understandably, words are pretty cheap to manufacture compared to silicon, so this practice is in its own and its shareholders best interest. I'm not saying it did not invent arch as well. But this can fail. Think Itanium. Marketing inventions are not only cheaper but also less risky.

On a sidenote, i read you since couple years and am aware you know a thing or two in some fields. However, as long you keep your tone along the line of "complety and utter nonsense, wtf", i will continue to do my very best to respond in a suitable way.
