...and this contradict each other.

Pretend for a second that your first claim is actually correct, that 
Adaptec does not want to sell hardware.  Just what do you think you are 
accomplishing by trying to convince people not to buy Adaptec hardware, 
then?  According to your words, that's exactly what Adaptec wants.

If you want to draw valid conclusions, you need to start with valid 
premises.  More precisely, if you assert A implies B, and A is shown to 
be false, you have demonstrated absolutely nothing about B.  Of course, 
before you get to the point of being able to derive inferential 
conclusions using first-order logic, you need to be coherent enough to 
put together an argument which does not claim that A and not A are true 
at the same time.
