"strongly suspected"......“research”.....Why oh why don't these organizations tell what we all know is the truth about these COMMERCIAL operations.
The Japanese don't like being called out on their lies, makes them lose face. Giving them the benefit of the doubt only make them feel legitimate in their own minds.
