It seems that in Judaism, a human being is sinful, but he can expiate via some means.

What about in Christianity?

RIM and its critics use different extrapolations.

What the two Co-CEOs of RIM have been insisting is basically this: "look, we invented and dominated the smart phone market. We'll continue to lead the segment despite the current temporary slide in our competitive position."

On the other hand, its critics basically say, "see, RIM's market share has been sliding very rapidly since roughly two years ago. It'll continue this decline and disappear into oblivion."

You see, choosing which angle to extrapolate from is an art.
