I wouldn't call someone a rube just because they don't want to wait months on end for the competition to arrive.
it is true that amd's refresh (8000 series?) wont be too far off when nvidia releases kepler but it will simply be that, a refresh. the 7000 series is a brand new architecture, kepler is a brand new architecture. since they are both brand new architectures and not refreshes i do agree people should wait to see who has a better leg to stand on.
