I'm just trying to figure this out in layman's terms, in that if I was operating a household like this - I mean, €3 billion - the bailout of the bank and the overall bailout of all the sums, I mean, we've moved into billions so, sometimes, we kind of, unless the extra zeros aren't there we don't recognise it as a figure. But, as you were saying earlier in your testimony, in early 2008 we weren't into those gigantic sums and all those extra zero spaces and guarantees. So, is your testimony under oath this evening, Mr. Moran, that you really weren't cognisant of the import of that €3 billion in interest roll-up?
