Simply saying that they were wrong doesn't make it so. The original post had hard numbers. If you're going to say that those numbers were in error, I want to see the numbers that back it up.

He may not be allowed to publicly disclose the numbers.

It would be like extrapolating how many Android phones had been sold. And then Google buys you and says, "here's the real number, but its Google confidential". You may be allowed to say, "I screwed up, my data was wrong", but you may not be able to actually give the real data.

That's just the real world.
