So let me guess, you think OJ didn't do it? What an absurd ontology, truth by legal procedure. There's a difference between the process we use to ascertain facts for purposes of administering force, and what the actual truth is.

In the scenario of "What a company owes to the IRS", the outcome of legal procedure is the absolute source of truth. There's no definition of that amount outside of any legal context. OJ killing his wife is an event that occurred independently of the existence of our legal system. A company owing taxes to the IRS is a matter that literally only exists within the context of the United States legal code.
