Yes it kind of does. The OP predicted that 2 things would happen when he should have said 1 of 2 things would happen. Basically the OP states that Verizon's network would be crushed and then that it wouldn't be crushed. Would have made most sense if the statement was "no matter what you will be 1/2 wrong and 1/2 right".
Next time I'll keep in mind that some people can't tell that those are obviously meant to be either one or the other.
Customer surveys don't have much to do with the facts though.
The purpose of a customer survey is only that it accurately reflects what the customers think, or want, or want to think, or think they want. It necessarily draws on the anecdotal evidence and is based on the experience of isolated individuals, including any biases or misinformation they may have come across, measured against their own (personal, non-scientific), ideas of how things "should be."
None of that has anything to do with objectively determining whether one network is better than the other. Lots of people believe lots of things and the facts don't generally have much to do with it.
Like politics, cell phones are mostly local. Customer satisfaction surveys can be especially misleading when not conducted according to the demographics of the customer base and the widely variable technology distribution. If a particular customer survey is conducted in an area with high density coverage for one carrier and not another, then one carrier will likely look better than another.
People, if the coverage for their local geographic area is satisfactory, will mostly report they are satisfied and vice versa. So some people on this website (and others) proclaim they like AT&T and others the opposite. It's really meaningless unless you know where they are using their phone or if their dissatisfaction is based on customer service and not signal strength/dropped calls.

Generally speaking, if you predict two things will happen and then list two things that are mutually exclusive you might expect some good natured ribbing.
If you get defensive or try to blame the reader then the good natured part may diminish...
Your response really isn't substantiated either. It assumes Droid phone users use the same amount of data and the number of people using the phones equal iPhones on AT&T.
Further, data is handled differently on Verizon. You can't access the data and voice lines at the same time. On AT&T you can.
Actually test have proven that the Androind users actually consume MORE data that iPhone users so the point is moot....
I talked to friend who is a customer service supervisor and they confirmed the date. They also said they have in training over the last month or two on MacOS X.

Customer service knows less than we do. Nice try, but this is nothing.
No one can stop trolls from speaking about Android. Even when the article or the site it is published in doesnt have anything to do with that green little prick.
Can someone please explain the total lack of physical devices (with Verizon functionality) showing up in the rumor mill? And no FCC leaks?
Because they are difficult to spot compared to the current iPhone 4? The best evidence, assuming leaving iPhones in bar is ruled out, is to check originating IP addresses to see if it came from Verizon Wireless network, but I think even then a MyFi device would make that questionable.
Being the Verison phone is apparently going to be unveiled in a couple of days, if Apple does do an event on or around Feb. 3, I imagine it will likely be to unveil the new iPad. That sounds about right for the iPad and it makes sense that Apple would want a few weeks between the Verizon announcement and the arrival of the new iPad. Get PR bang from the Verizon announcement and then a few weeks later get mileage out of the iPad.
A note to people who expect an iPad announcement in Jan. because we had one last year. Last year there was no previous version whose sales could have been curtailed by an announcement. For that reason iPad2 will be released one month, or less, before release.

Last year it was released on April 3rd. Anyway the main thing is it wont be announced two months before , like last year. But one month before, as with the iPhone.

Strange. It's as if the FCC has declared that if Apple dares to release a new version of a product in any time frame other than one year, there will be consequences.
You're quite wrong about that. Apple is free to release new product whenever it feels like it. Not saying when Apple will release the new iPad but this notion that they are prohibited from doing so before the one-year mark is simply ridiculous.

With optional shoephone sock-case.
Also 9-5mac is 'rumoring' Verizon employee training for an 'iconic device' at the end of the month.

Do you believe now?
You might want to link to the article on BGR directly. I clicked your link and the article at the top of the page in big letters is:
"Android 2.3 Gingerbread now runs on an iPhone 3G"
Kind of funny...
