It is best to not underestimate the smoke and mirrors tactics.
It would not surprise me in the slightest if POET are pushing back or "controlling" timing on NR's to ensure all aspects of the Grand Plan remain in strategic synchronization.
Especially now as we have a stong dotted line to APPLE, who is the undisputed KING of secrecy and covert dealings.
The recent appointments and hidden messages in the NR's tells us all that "All systems are go" for POET.
