"Some cars are now coming straight from the factory with 'do not track' stickers already applied. As such, we cannot know for certain whether an individual driver actually wants to be tracked. What does Do Not Track really mean anyway? We have therefore chosen to attach tracking devices to all vehicles that visit our premises."

"Some letterboxes have 'no junk mail' signs attached, but it's often unclear whether these were even placed by the current occupant. The current resident may be completely unaware that they're missing out on our great deals. Therefore we have chosen to deliver to all addresses regardless of signage."

What an incredible way of thinking. You could rationalize anything this way.



Agree entirely. Take a clear statement. Say it isn't clear what someone may want from that statement, claiming it is confusing when it really is not. Do what is clearly the opposite intention, blaming deliberate stated confusion. Grrr.


They rationalise everything this way because their bottom line depends on it. They are incentivised not to understand.
