Supercede, shmupercede...
Of course it supercedes any past statements. This is a NEW administration, under CEO FALK. He has told you you will hear from him again this coming quarter. And any question of "What about those things you said in the past" will raise an eye brow...
If I were him, I would preface the raised eye brow with, which part of "You will hear more this coming quarter you did not understand?"...Lol...Lol...
It is not a great puzzle. They have high expectations, and they have devised a PLAN to cope with everyone's problems, including those of RP'S. That is why he left for the time being.
