Why do we need personal opinions about factual matters?

Personally, I’ve never found the Chone projections at all accurate. Perhaps somebody can explain to me why they’re cited so often?

I think it’s mostly because they’re available earlier than some of the others. That’s not meant to be a jab, anyone else who might still be working on their own projections, feel free to take as much time as you need to do a good job.

See, that’s one thing that doesn’t go down in this blog: you talk bullsh!t, and I’ll slap you down for it.  I’m disappointed that all 20 of the BPro staff let’s stuff like that sit there like that.

As a point of fact, Chone has done as good, or better, than PECOTA.
