Both of your answers in this thread are great, but it doesn't sound like what behdad was looking for. I think the unfortunate reality is that you're supposed to try to figure out what he wants to hear, which is that his answer is the most correct one in his mind to this awesome question that's so great he violates his company's rules in order to keep asking it. This just lead to cheating, where a smart person with connections learns from a friend what behdad wants to hear, and is able to give it to him, while people who don't have these connections give a more correct answer like yours and get rejected.
