True, but not necessarily bad.

There's always a gotcha document when there is an investigation -- it's the nature of the beast. There's always a tension between attorneys who want to keep everything and attorneys that would put a paper shredder in the output tray of every printer.

Without context, a quote is a quote. I saw one scenario where someone using a cliche "pets vs. cattle" analogy in context of servers was manipulated to sound like some sort of crazy person in a complaint. If it's response to a request to obfuscate or manipulate options for a specific purpose, that's one thing. If it a person asked to provide feedback from the perspective of a user, it's another.
