I think probably "get a life" is a little uncalled for, especially considering the extent to which all of us are choosing to indulge in speculation and debate over something that simple patience will resolve in three days time.
And to be completely fair and sober, the inconsistency of style in the leaked graphic must be accounted for. Despite what you imply, it doesn't take a nitpicking, socially stunted obsessive with a microscope to see the glaring stylistic differences between the leaked graphic and every other graphic on the site. It's immediately obvious in a side-by-side comparison.
And although it is, after all, just one piece of the overall puzzle, it is a relevant piece nonetheless. Whether you believe it was a hacker perpetrating a hoax, a negligent web designer being sloppy, or a precursor to a complete site redesign (which, for the record, I think is the most unlikely possibility), the observations should be noted and ultimately accounted for in your personal point of view on what happened (just as we must all take into consideration Apple's silence thus far and the fact that MacRumors was silenced whereas other rumor sites and legitimate media outlets have been allowed to publish the same facts and screenshots).
Obviously, all of us want the specs to be true and accurate. But that doesn't mean we should take complete leave of our senses and capability for rational, civil speculation and debate. Anyway, at the moment, I am liking the Occam's Razor approach. Simple
is better. And we can also always rely on the lapses of judgment and sheer stupidity of others, however uncharacteristic it might be for such a tight ship as Apple's.
Anyway, I just think you discount too rashly the contributions of others in our mutual endeavor towards reaching some sort of common understanding regarding this unusual turn of events, that's all.
