I've been reading this debate only briefly, so I may be repeating somebody elses arguments.
Basically we have a sitution where Pentax as we know them, may or may not, go down the drain. Hoya has probably (we don't know this for a fact) said something about the image division not being very strong, because they have to go outside the company for electronics. This may be or may not be a signal that they intend to get rid of the division. But one very likely explanation is that they want to weaken Pentax before taking them over. There are probably negotiations going on. Basically they are speaking money. So making statements like this is the only reasonable thing to do at this stage of the process. Because Hoya wants a make a good deal. If, they takes over Pentax, I imagine the first thing they do is to go out in public and praise the same company that they have just claimed to be weak. Because, then, they are in a competly differnt situation. So, in this situation: Every time we repeat "the sky is falling", here in public, we makes Pentax a bit weaker towards Hoya.
