She is reporting on a business issue. Her background is on (spinning) marketing ideas. The fact that all financial ( profit) info on Leica is not published means that her data came from Leica management which in itself is a lousy way to gather facts. They could be spinning her...... Who can double check what they told her? Sales means nothing without the profit picture, which Leica does not disclose..... And she does or should know better......!

I do that nowadays. After reading a paragraph of what a writer has to say I check out their references. Try to find out what their agenda might be. If they have a what I think to be proper background I keep reading their article. This sounds like quite a cool smart lady. Classical Guitar! French Lit. What's not to like!?
