Interesting that the SEC didn't know while probably everyone in in the world knew at least since 2017 that graphics cards are hard to buy because of the cryptomining demand.

Maybe one these things that are so obvious and hence not explicitly mentioned.

Its not about whether the SEC knew. It is about whether nvidia properly incorporated that knowledge into their financial reporting. If nvidia knew how many of its cards were going to crypto then they needed to properly report that as a market segment that has different growth profiles than the standard gaming market. That way analysts could evaluate their projections more effectively.
