The emperor example isn't a good one IMO. The emperor just sentences someone to
death for any old reason (no reason also works equally well). Besides, you said
previously that it didn't matter whether or not the numbers were 100% accurate.
If that's the case, Vincent is way out of line calling Bob a fraud. If Vincent
would have privately emailed Bob and let him know his numbers were not correct,
fine. Unless he had some axe to grind with Bob, I don't see any reason to even
post that information publicly, if, as you say, it doesn't matter.
