With great respect, onlookers have busted the King's nakedness for centuries. Somewhere between your naivete and my aggression towards BEA, is the balance that people seek who wish not to believe that which is to them impossible. We live in a World where information that is readily available is ignored, or where no data at all is used as "evidence", on this you are quite correct. If you are unwilling to entertain less than noble motives on the part of BEA, that is your prerogative.
Others may wish to ponder to what extent incestuous "Guardians" may go to protect a Trillion Dollar Enterprise. To each his own, if you are offended, look away.
What Is somewhat disturbing is your dismissiveness and arrogance. I take your point in general, but frankly, some of your rhetoric is beyond dismissive, as it seems to pander to those whose views are similar, but in an adversarial way. Pity.
Much respect to you,
bear
