I do not think that is a consistent answer because even though this issue is now the subject of legal proceedings, Mr. Redmond was quite happy a moment ago to say he believes that what Revenue told this committee was correct, while refusing to say that he believes what Apple said to the Senator congressional committee was correct. Why is he willing to quote an argument that suits Apple and to confirm his belief in the veracity of what was said by Revenue here, while at the same time being unwilling to confirm his belief in the veracity of what representatives of Apple - members of the chamber of commerce - told the Senator congressional committee?
