Well, I see that you also invoked Hanlon's Razor. I don't know if I want to give these guys that benefit of doubt - I think they genuinely don't care. Mainly because if they did they had those kinds of standards to begin with, I would expect them to also have the kinds of standards that would make it unlikely to be in this line of business.
