The regulation was vague, so now you have a situation where two sides are interpreting things differently:

>She said: “The regulation at the time stated that a wheel bearing was bad when it had ‘visible seepage’. But that was very vague, and the bosses used that vagueness to their advantage. For me, it was whenever oil was visible on the bearing. For my bosses, they wanted actual droplets and proof it would leak on the ground.

That's probably why we have an audio leak story, because the company may have some ground to stand on because of this vagueness.
