I recognize and appreciate your views, and without question I know about that "attachment". On the other hand, Phil had IOC's plans well laid out for future growth and development in 236 and 238, with a major commitment by PRE for doing so in 237. As I recall Head insisted on staying with wood core skiis for the longest time while everyone else went fiberglass. I should know. I broke five pair (ok, one pair wasn't made by Head).
Rather than Phil holding unrealistic expectations for the value of the string of pearls I think that others didn't want to take an extended view. They saw an opportunity for a fast buck and Phil stood in their way. I'm now in the crowd thinking IOC does not last the year, wondering what the current and final deals will be.
