Yeah, they surely already have millions of additional stock... You don't know anything about stockage costs and the fact that you never produce a lot more than what you expect to sell, do you? 

 

But hey, who am I to talk about it. You're right, I surely don't know how a forecast and a production plan work... I'm only a production and logistics engineer after all! 

They expect to sell a lot more than 2m if you think they don't expect to than you're kidding yourself I know how financial reports are handled as I work with them frequently.

There is a huge difference between "they lied about their expectations" and "they will produce more quickly if it's sold out, or stocked a lot more just in case". I'm OK with the former, the later is irrealistic.
