The more important reason why Carney is being used is that he is trusted by journalists and/or has had an important job and reputation that preceded him. As such he will be given certain leeway and the benefit of the doubt that won't extend to others (with less of a pedigree). This isn't about what the tech press thinks (or what even an Amazon customer thinks) it's about what other important decision makers (who follow the journalists that are impressed by Carney think). Separately, when does any PR hack speak the truth (if you want to call it that).
