Documentation. Why keep it?

In announcing the proposed fine, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said documents obtained from the automaker show that Toyota knew of the problem with the sticking gas pedals in late September but did not issue a recall until late January. The sticking pedals involved 2.3 million vehicles.

"We now have proof that Toyota failed to live up to its legal obligations," LaHood said in a statement. "Worse yet, they knowingly hid a dangerous defect for months from U.S. officials and did not take action to protect millions of drivers and their families."

Microsoft also got nailed with that. Kinda like making you testify against yourself.


So, my question is why I would want to keep such documentation? If I noticed it could be bad, why not make it oral? That way I could say you misunderstood me or you took me out of context? Why would I want to keep a paper trail that I know could come back and damn me?
