And as Kevin Backer says, he's been hammered for being transparent.

And a lot of people who like to get outraged about things are getting, as the usual suspects, are getting very outraged about this thing, which, as I say...

Now, there may be other issues in RTE that I know nothing about.

I'm not making any comment on them.

I'm just making a comment on this particular issue.

Well, in a way, I mean, you know, people have reviewed something and have decided to come to a different conclusion than they did, say, three or four years ago.

I think that's a perfectly logical thing to do.

And as I say, in organizations I was in, we would review things and maybe reclassify things as well.

I don't know what criteria were used in either case.

I mean, maybe it would be better if it was done immediately, but it was, I think, a reasonable, logical thing that happened.

I don't think there was anything malicious in anything.

The suggestion, all sorts of things are being covered up and there was a malicious intent in the first place, which nobody has defined and nobody has clarified.

So I think it's reasonable.

Yeah, well, maybe they should read the article, or maybe the person giving the headline should be a little bit more reasonable.

I mean, that's my view of it.

Anyway, I mean, oh, gee, they could have actually kept it under wraps.

Nobody knew anything about it.

They could have kept it under wraps and continued it on forever.

ad infinitum, and nobody knew anything about it, but they decided to come out and tell people that they had changed this, and they got hammered.

And as Kevin Backer said, it's not a great thing that they might come out transparent again, although I know they will.
