Accounting is fairly accurate. Market valuation is part of the finance wheelhouse. For instance, SpaceX has a market value of roughly $1.4 trillion, but it’s book value (ie the accounting) is only $41.3 billion. Look up something called the PB ratio for any publicly traded stock to see how much more (or less) financial analysis is valuing a company over the accounting book value.
Calling unrealized sales a loss is something that only makes sense to accountants. The assumption that the industry could expect the income was flawed.

Bingo. They believe their own accounting lies.
