I can agree with the statement IF it was Dirk's fault that pushed earlier announcements of BD's introduction being too optimistic.

Quite the guy that Rory! Here I was thinking that all the hard work had been done by the chip architects, process guys and GloFo, and all the while all it needed was for a marketing guy to come in and roll up the ol' shirtsleeves. Here I was thinking the dude was getting paid per PR cliché
