- acdha 7y agoLying like that is a great way to have to deal with lawsuits from every investor who isn’t convinced that the deal is a good idea.
- mathattack 7y agoIt’s a little easier for them to just lie to customers.
- broknbottle 7y agoIt's not a lie if you believe it ;)
- acdha 7y agoIt is, however, if there’s documentation showing something else which comes up in discovery. Seriously, never try this.
- chipperyman573 7y agoI'm not sure if you're joking, but if you aren't that would be a pretty big risk. If it doesn't pay off they would look pretty bad for Watson
- thomasjames 7y agoIsn't Watson already a tired marketing device whose existence as a meaningful product/system is debatable? Not sure how much more damage would be done.
