Just as with the other example, the only two people that know for sure are the 'asker' and the 'provider' and once the deed is done, they're going to keep their mouths shut.
I understand how cheating works. Maybe its just something to do with the company you used to work for.
What if the asker and the provider was the same person and was typing right now, with full oversight of everything.
For whatever reason you seem to want to discredit what the reputable companies do
Okay, let me answer your question by extending my analogy...
I'll bet those 33% of women who said yes to Mr Kinsey & Co, didn't just wake up one morning and say 'hoorah, today's the day I'm going to indulge in some back door fun!'. Rather I suspect that each one of them knew there was a right way to do these things and were repelled by the stories they had heard of 'other ways of doing it'.
So girl meets boy, and things get serious, and this one feels special; maybe 'The One'. Your mum likes him and his parents like you. So things get intimate and the results are spectacular. Almost perfect. Almost but not quite. There's just this one little thing. And that's when the question gets asked. Would you? The question only comes when you're in deep and if you say no, you know you're going to disappoint an awful lot of people...
The sad truth BD is you obviously DON'T understand how cheating works other than as a theoretical concept. Clearly no-one's ever asked you to cheat and hey, if cost is no object, why would they? But saying 'I would never cheat' is a bit vacuous don't you think? Take an unrealistic extreme and say your children's lives depended on it...you'ld fiddle a test then surely? What if your company's future depended on it? What then? It's easy to make judgements when you've never been tested.
And please, reputable companies, like VAG for example? In my experience, it's the reputable companies that are the worst!
Maybe if you got out more, you'ld understand these things...
I know how this happens... it stats with small, meaningless stuff (without a victim), say just to speed up proceedings. Cutting a corner, then another... and by that time, you're a downright cheat even if you'renot happy about it....
Does that 3.44 cP HTHS round up to 3.5 (and a pass) or 3.4 (a fail)?
Does that 45.5 mg TEOST round down to 45 (a pass) or round up to 46 (a fail)?
This test has failed three times. So and so lab has an easy test stand, can we run there?
Can you dilute the VII in this specific base oil (yeah we know it's different but it's okay)
We need a complete set of seals for this OEM meeting by the end of the month and they have to pass.
It starts off small and grows...everyone's happy except you.
Stand up and say so and so is a cheat and should be sacked. Prepare to stand alone in the face of the biggest sh1tstorm of your career.
Just sayin'...
