Actually NWBO's wording in this 10-Q is the best or close to the best way to avoid unnecessary litigation by being the least precise way of communicating a forward looking statement. It's what good lawyers do in written communications so that attempts at litigation are thwarted enough to prevent them. I also think that this could have been the sticking point between a CFO signoff and Linda handling this. Linda bases her point of view on a thorough understanding of contractual law and not just the more superficial implications that a CFO might be looking at. Just walking in the mocassins of another for a while : ). Best wishes.
