Don't you just love being fed plausible deniability BS over and over and over again. I've lost friends over this bs. People who always argue in bad faith, always invoke plausible deniability, always min/max each interaction with hidden motives - should be given no attention and credibility. Unfortunately, those people strives in corporate environments, and as you would expect, they're often responsible for marketing, PR, sales, and corporate strategies. Corporations are the annoying lying friends you don't want around.
