That top comment doesn't seem to have engaged completely with the context here. AMD fumbled trillions of dollars of value creation by mis-identifying what their hardware was for. Or perhaps it is more correct to say by being too dogmatic about what their hardware is for. They weren't in a position to be picky. They had a choice - they could continue making trillion-dollar mistakes until their board got sacked and the exec team replaced. Or they could maybe listen to some of the people who were technically correct regardless of their size in the market.
George is just some dude and I doubt AMD paid him much attention anywhere through this saga, but AMD had screwed up to the point where he could give some precise commentary about how they'd managed to duck and weave to avoid the overwhelming torrent of money trying to rush in and buy graphics hardware. They should make some time in their busy schedules to talk with people like that.
