I'm not sure whether it proves my point or yours, or both.

>I’m really hoping that they get their mojo back. There’s a better than even chance they will.

Regression to the mean and entropy will eat us all. There is no hope.

In a way, both.

Their structure works really well, for the specialized (smallish) market they occupied for decades, but sucked, in the new market.

I think they may get their groove back, because their core is true, and they are tough. They are a Japanese company that has gone through world wars, depressions, recessions, etc. They are also very conservative, fiscally. That helps you to get past the rough patches.
