Did the document record anything happening? No

Did it happen? No.

Did you (initially) falsely imply it did? Yes.

This is the equivalent of shouting that a startup is proven to be on the brink of failing and lying about their finances because you've discovered a memo which notes that one of many advantages of contractors over employees is that you can get rid of them at short notice.

unsurprisingly, it doesn’t actually change my point in the slightest. maybe we can have a more interesting conversation now.
