I report, you decide.

But lets take a moment to guess.

Who counts bodies?
A. Insurance companies
B. lawyers
C. government
D. Greenpeace
E. The company

At trial, whose figures were accepted?
A. Insurance companies
B. lawyers
C. government
D. Greenpeace
E. The company

Unless we assume the general conspiracy theory of government-company collusion, I'd guess that the government was probably more accurate. If the gov lied, I guess they would have to pay-off or intimidate lawyers and the insurance companies.

I've never bribed nor intimidated anybody (okay, I've done both to my dog), so I haven't any idea whether its possible. It probably is. Lets ask some lawyers how often they're offered bribes and how much they get. Ditto insurance companies. Oh, they'll lie about that, too.

On the other hand, would Greenpeace have any reason to inflate the figures?
