Sorry, Bruno, I still disagree. I think hypocrisy implies a simultaneity. This is a company changing their minds, which is a minor but important distinction. Do you always view someone changing their mind as a sign of hypocrisy?

I'm not saying they're right, either. I'm just saying it's a reaction, not a malicious decision or doublespeak. They aspired to something and weren't able to make it a reality due to external forces. At the very least, I have every reason to think they're doing what they're doing for the good of the consumer. I really would like to hear your specific thoughts on why this is a bad move and what negative effects could result from it.
