This is just one example of why trying to communicate with people terrified of losing their cushy deal is so difficult. They will stoop to any and all levels to try to hide the truth from you. But try as they might, you can defeat this behavior by reading every single word very carefully. If you do this understanding that their main goal is to hide the truth from you, this stuff will stick out like a sore thumb to you.
