Given that the financial reports for the current year are not yet in, it |
| 19 |
is entirely true that the costs involved are presently unknown. As, bear |
| 20 |
with me here, 5% of an unknown quantity is still an unknown quantity. |
| 21 |
Further, comparing a known percentage of an unknown quantity to another |
| 22 |
unknown quantity of unknown relative magnitude is an effectively |
| 23 |
valueless proposition. So could we please avoid pointlessly belittling |
| 24 |
others and their factual comments? |
