Exactly. The old "I'm sorry I got caught" and not "I'm sorry I did it."

- tohmasu 6y agoLegal wishes to remind you that that statement always needs this accompanying statement. The word "better" does not imply a commitment towards customers and/or investors. *The word "do" should not be seen as referring to the taking of any specific course of action which may or may not yield tangible change. *The word "can" does not signify a concrete ability and is not forward-looking. *The word "We" should not be interpreted as Canonical Ltd. nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.

Which is what he should have said. There were no semantic games in that particular statement, in stark contrast to some of the other things he said.
