fs> do we know for sure POET cancelled
rk> no not at all
the broadcaster included mention of POET's appearance in the programme's introductory segment, however there is some likelihood the intro was pre-recorded.
have a look here, from :26 to :35
although I must admit some disappointment that they didn't capitalize on the Moore's Law anniversary date for news, we know *that* an expected POET appearance was withdrawn.
we do not know not the reason *why*, and it is a fruitless exercise to speculate whether it was or was not really more than incorrect scheduling by BNN in the first place.
Hainsworth's #conspiracy-theories aside, I'm sure we'll learn the story in due course.
GLAL,
