Yes, and luckily for us I never even COMMENTED on the advisability of 
introducing a new product in a bigger, richer economy!

As you can below I commented on the advisability of PHASING OUT a 
product in their biggest market before they have a replacement 
available in that market and market-segment.

No company in its right might allows a product gap to occur in any 
segment of its lineup in a significant sized market.
