Do you have a citation on hand for this? I’m not familiar with the industry or incumbents and don’t know one way or the other.


I think the CEO of cloudflare is a pretty decent authoritative source for such a statement.


Okay, but (candidly) he's also selling something, so isn't an independent citation valuable? Is it wrong to ask for more information?


The same CEO that also happens to be marketing a new product?

Do you really believe that all statements made by CEOs should be accepted without question?


Obviously not, and I'm not saying that. I think believing this statement from this ceo at this time is reasonable. The research he did to come to his numbers is probably independent and you probably won't be able to find a citation as everyone on here is constantly crying for for every minor assumption.

What motivation does he have to lie about this particular number? His track record on honesty to date is good and the company is forthright in its dealings, from what I have seen. This isn't one of the google or microsoft boys trying to sell you on some shite AI in return for a high def feed from you eyes 24/7.
