How could any CEO attest to the accuracy of company accounts if those accounts do not reveal options-related compensation and expense it for what it is -- are the majority of CEOs going to sign these statements, knowing full well that they have omitted a major line of compensation expense and hence overstated profits? Are they really certifying the fact that their accounting statements fully and fairly reflect the performance and situation of their companies, or are they really saying we don't think we could go to jail for anything we are currently doing so catch us if you can -- there is a big difference.
