The point to my original post was to call attention to the strong impact of manufacturer and carrier adoption on android adoption. I didn't think it was something left to interpretation. You questioned whether that state of affairs was relevant to future growth. My reply to that, was an example of a platform whose very-fast adoption was manufacturer-driven, specifically to point out that you can't reasonably extrapolate from short-run data in these situations. As for the analogy, like any analogy, isn't worth arguing. You clearly saw what I was aiming at and that was its only purpose. Again, the only time I brought up extrapolation was to point out that you can't. So I'm not sure why you've twice decided to point out that I'm agreeing with the article.
