This unfortunately will be a black mark on Mr. Suarez-Potts' name.
He has seemed to be an accommodating and pliable man, operating
primarily in the service of, and therefore under the morality of,
his superiors in an variety of positions over the years.

And in this case, following Oracle's clear instruction, or more
likely, expectation, he simply becomes an exemplar of Upton Sinclair's
all too familiar maxim, that:

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary
depends upon his not understanding it!"
