Hindsight is 20&#x2F;20. You don&#x27;t get to reinterpret statements made earlier just because he got the general gist.<p>Like he said, his specificity screwed him (laptops, xml, etc) - He&#x27;s totally not being too hard on himself. He&#x27;s being fair and honest in his evaluation.<p>It would be super easy to predict trends if you are nonspecific: I predict new and shiny will win in 10 years. Bleh that&#x27;s a non-statement.
