They are paid to protect the interests of the corporation, its employees, and shareholders.

But this doesn't make them omniscient.

I heard recently that Hewlett missed a couple of key meetings when the Compaq merger was discussed. He did vote for it, apparently, when it came up for a vote, but one guesses that he may not have had the full picture and that is why he is opposed now. If those absences were contrived, i.e., intentionally scheduling meetings when he was travelling, would that make him guilty of non-feasance if this merger were something akin to the Enron stuff?
