Did not! Did too! Did not! Did too!

Such an elevated level of disputation you have :)

My point was that accounting conflicts of interest affect THE ENTIRE ECONOMY (because the accountants can have lucrative 'consulting contracts' which compromise their objectivity at the same time they are auditing the books of ANY NUMBER of companies, across ANY NUMBER of industries.)

By definition this problem must be larger than any one-time only waiver of a rule that affects only one company, in only one industry.

Witness that Tyco is also caught up into this panic now, and Imclone, and others....
