Bonefish,

Re: "What is the harm if he have some engineers working on alternate (more simple) process just in case?"

The problem is that "working on alternate (more simple) process" takes a lot
of resources (money, people, equipment ...). It also "defocuses" the
main effort if resources are very limited (like in AMD's case).

Make It So,

Bonefish -

What is the harm if he have some engineers working on alternate (more simple) process just in case?

Let us put on our Jerry "hat" for a moment and think like Jerry thinks. Here I have this company that is for my own personal use. I have limited resources and I hate Intel. How can I use my resources to maximize the harm on Intel? I have a 1 in 10 chance of really pulling off Hammer and that will really hurt Intel, but that will take 100% of my resources and if I can't pull it off I'm ..er.. the shareholders are dead. If I have a plan "B" then I can't put all my resources into the only chance I have of really hurting my enemy. Easy decision. Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead...
