The press won't laugh. Hackers seem to react badly to hyperbole. Press
only laugh when they catch you trying to play them for fools. Since
this is a press conference and journalists have very heavy filters for
exaggeration, there isn't much worry. However, if we don't say this is
big, how will journalists know.
