I'm not sure why the second one is worse than the first one.

Wall, you can't tell if they're ignoring it, but it's fairly easy to show they're manipulating it. So a cut-and-dry demonstration is worse than a strong suspicion.

    One has to remember they're crooks through and through. They're doing it by retoggling the checkbox because it offers them plausible deniability.

    Or "once again our all-powerful models got away from us ! they did it themselves, the little scamps".
