most people don’t save their receipts. it is a hassle until you need it.
most interactions aren’t between “the good side” and “the bad side.”
there seems to be a hesitance to entertain the possibility that a bad board pulled a coup on a bad ceo. harder to pick sides.
more likely than a good board pulling a coup on a good ceo, but that’s also possible. everyone got too afraid and now they hug it out.
so, no, not magic. just mass amounts of detail outside the public eye. makes for a lot of possibilities that people will speculate about online. even argue over it.
