4DS - Anything but Charting, page-25682

Well put, I got the impression the "gamble" talk was more due to the wording in the ann about "probability of success unknown" - as much as I agree that the wording could have been better (however accurate), my take was that it's more to do with the fact that they can't know if the proposed solution worked until the next batch of wafers is done... it doesn't mean (or at least I hope not!) that they stuck a finger in the air and completely guessed at a solution.

Given their experience/skills, I would think that their potential solution is based on thorough analysis where they're zig zagging towards a working solution, not a stab in the dark. Any changes at this change would be calculated with some level of precision, not random guesses.
