I'm presuming they were trying to say "Doomed from the start of the digital revolution"

One can come up with plenty of criticisms of Kodak. But they did sell off their chemical business when the selling was reasonably good and they did do a fair number of things that anticipated digital.

But you can't just yank out the carpet from a massive consumables business that basically underpinned a company's revenue and profits almost overnight and reasonably expect them to deal with it.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks for clarifying, and sorry for being unclear at the start.
