Nowhere did you disclaim this as 'speculation'. You stated it as  
fact. As Norman mentioned, you have repeatedly done so on these  
lists. You spout your usually misguided opinions and guesses as fact  
routinely, usually following up with a "why did Apple ..." tearjerk  
session. Fortunately, there are enough knowledgeable denizens of the  
lists to point out your errors before the less enlightened can be  
misguided or harmed.

I can only hope you are far more careful in what you tell your clients.
