I'm not sure why this article was greyed out. It appears that you are with good intentions bringing up some points of contradictions that concern you. If you see these things other people will see them and perhaps that is why we are not growing super fast as originally anticipated. Sometimes what we think will happen doesn't and we need to reassess where we are and where we still plan to go. There is nothing wrong with being wrong as long as you make it right! Thanks for sharing some honest thoughts and let's hope the whole community can come together with solutions.
