Even a former CEO would keep secrets. The next corporation's board is not going to hire a CEO that will knowingly be frank on Wikipedia about a former company.
- CamperBob2 2y agoNote that he didn't say anything about the information the CEO tried to add/remove/edit, just that the edit was "historical" in nature and epistemically unacceptable based on its source. It might not have involved a secret plot to dilute the company's baby formula with methanol, it might have been as innocent (and as objective) as their date of formation or ownership structure. We simply don't know. There's a lot we don't know because somebody like this didn't approve of where the information came from. Somewhere a homeowner's association is missing a lawn committee chair.
