Surely if he is happy to lay it on the line that he is '100% certain' one would assume that he received this information from a reliable source. Some of us are capable of reading between the lines.

Dec is right here.

If you're going to dismiss someone as giving false information, it's professional to back up your claim with your source.

Otherwise it's just one journalist's word against another.

Yes ultimately it is often one journalists word against another, just comes down to who you prefer to believe I guess.

Journalists never reveal their sources, that is common knowledge. Clearly he has a source, he didn't pick 772K buys through reading tea leaves. He was furnished with that number by someone on the inside. The fact that you can't work that out surprises me. Would you have preferred he said something along the lines of "I was given the figure by someone in the know whose name I can't reveal?" I personally don't need the meatball held up to my mouth in order to eat it. Maybe you do.

He sure is! And I am so sure you are following him around!

To be honest Cane I probably post more than most others here and it isn't a massive forum. So it's inevitable that I am going to run into Alvin and his sorry ass trolling more often than not.
