This is not about the shorts it's about how we connect with the potential buyers. That's a maneuver not a surrender. You see how some companies fair much better in these short attacks ? It's because of how they present themselves. Both Khan and Lin are horrible at it. The latest balls up is just another example of it. Nice reductio ad absurdum argument by the way. I love the way that any company criticism is met with personal attacks. Just like Sino the Stockholm syndrome is setting in.
I'm long and I don't disagree with you. I use the same analogy with pharma companies, I don't like it when the CEO is a Dr, they typically aren't as market savy in dealing with investors. In this case two technologists are bright in their own right, but not great market guys. Part of the reason why I invested in the company was for Omar's presence, his connections, understanding of the tech, etc. Lin is also connected, but not my cup of tea for the CEO. Chairman, yes, and deservedly so, but not the public face. For me at least.
