Me too but Gruber has a really good track record on his predictions.
In my mind, at least, he might break even or float something like a 60% accuracy/trust rating. It would be interesting to see hard numbers of his actual predictions.
Anyway, I think many people want to remember him as more accurate than not, because he is one of the most vocal Apple prediction-related pundits there are.
Ala, a bit of the ole RDF/DF in action. :)
