the fact they you take them as facts from Ken, and then when MrTeal (who has been around much longer and has some real street cred) posts his take on it you tell him he cant be right cause Ken said this. You are coming off like a 9 year old boy saying my dad can beat your dad up.
Ken has the facts and details at hand, he is a very experienced
software engineer, (as well as a very experienced businessman) he has two life-time engineers on his team, together with their suppliers they have come up with these projections.
Mr Teal does not have all the details about this company infront of him, he has not negotiated with ACtM's suppliers or know the agreed timelines, and neither is he as knowledgeable as a combination of 3 life-time engineers.
if you are going to state these as facts then I ask for you to provide proof to back up your statements of:
1. he is a very experienced
software engineer
2. a very experienced businessman
3. he has two life-time engineers on his team
4. together with their suppliers they have come up with these projections
EDIT - not saying any of these arent possibly true, just want this backed up with proof.
