Another reply since you edited your comment to add this: > I mean you literally asked how these estimates were created? Honestly, you genuinely seem confused. Where do you think I asked that question?

Sure - but the point is that it is an indication of their sentiment, rather than anything to do with the running of the company. I.e. it’s a reflection of their position, not Apple’s.

You have nothing to feel ashamed about or to apologize for. The person who replied to you at best appears to have misunderstood what you said.
