Ant, to your post I would add:
While we could hold Eric accountable for what he said 2 years ago, we know it is impossible for him to have completely acurately predicted the future back then. As things developed differently than Eric at first indicated they might, he has a built a track record of being accountable just the same, explaining when conditions over which he has no control, have altered, and the affect the changes make or made in the way he expressed his take on what lies ahead. To those who want to hold Eric accountable to each and every word that poured from his mouth 2 years ago, I suggest that rarely can a human predict the future accurately and consistently. Most adults learn this in their early adulthood. That's why he is so up front over and over about the risk involved in investing in a company like WB. Today we have a changed set of circumstances, as Ant laid out in his post, that looks better for WB now than what Eric was talking about 2 years ago. We are closer today to the success we all hope for than we were 2 years ago without having to hold Eric accountable for every dotted i and crossed t that he spoke 2 years ago.
