I'm sure it wasn't careless, but they are (from all accounts I have read) blatantly lying. Intel isn't known for above board practices. They will do what it takes to win - period.

Name dropping their competitors (to me), honestly shows me how dire of a situation this is. If it wasn't, they wouldn't feel the need to defend themselves and say, "well look at everyone else".
