Three days before the announcement of the iPhone, amid persistent rumors I posted on Digg that I "seriously doubted" that Apple was making a phone. Someone responded to my comment saying that Apple would not have been smart to let the rumor get out of control as it did as it could cause their stock to drop when they don't deliver. Since Apple (obviously) did deliver, I'm cautiously optimistic that the same reasoning can be applied to these persistent iTablet rumors.
