Do you find companies with public facing employees that give talks at meetups and conferences easier to trust?

In other words, you trust Facebook, Google, NSA, and Congress more than Apple?

Seems like an odd standard.

I said P⇒Q; you're asking if that means I believe !P⇒!Q.

That is: I'm not saying a company is trustworthy if-and-only-if its employees speak publicly. I'm saying that my mental model of what a company would or wouldn't do internally is strongly influenced by what I know about its employees.

The alternative is that you believe !P⇒Q, in which case you could have easily just said Q
