> The idea that senior leadership at AMD is unaware.. Senior leadership at AMD isn't dumb.

Lets try this with another company:

The idea that leadership at Lehmon Brothers is unaware of the fact that they are trading subprime loans is absurd! The leadership isnt dumb

The Idea that leadership at Being is unaware of safety issues with 737 Max is absurd! How could you suggest that anyone outside boesing understands better than they do the risks involved?

The fact that a couple of other companies have had dumb leadership in no way proves that AMD's is dumb. You're essentially claiming that because Lehman and Boeing had dumb leadership, all senior leadership at all companies is dumb (because there's nothing linking AMD to these other companies except that they're all companies). And that is an absurd claim.

I am not sure if they are dumb, the jury is still out, but your entire post is the textboom example of logical fallacy, appeal to authority.

You are claiming that AMD leadership is infalliable based on no evidence whatsoever. Thats whats absurd
