Sometimes, yes, but this time? The problem is that Elop's actions and his explanations doesn't make any sense. And even Elop evangelists are unable to dispute that, because after few rounds every discussion ends with remarks about how he surely knows something the rest of world doesn't and how without this key information nobody is able to comprehend his genial strategy.

Because it can't be that he is just another dumb CEO believing in his illusions and that there is no secret plan that will turn bad into good at the last minute.
