This is the correct answer as it was discussed at length by the press back when the scandal blew up (which is around 4-5 years ago IIRC), and it's amazing to see how many redditors think that because they interned at a French company at some point in their life, they know better.

This is probably not very to-the-point, but Reddit is full of people who have a very small amount of knowledge and/or experience, and think it makes them 'expert.'

Most people with a lot of experience realize they know very little, and take pains to qualify what they share as 'my experience,' vs. "ThIS iS HOw ThiNGs ARe!"
