Might be useful to some folks.

		Doesn’t necessarily have to be to mislead investors, could be to mislead applicants, competitors, whatever. I know if my business was shittin’ the bed I wouldn’t want to give any appearance of that. Better to just let everyone think it’s business as usual, no matter what.
