Answer to Question 1

As discussed elsewhere in the book, practitioners employed by publicly held
companies face ethical (Chapter 6) and legal (Chapter 15) requirements to
disclose any information that could influence an investor's decision to buy or sell
stock. Even if you put the ethical and legal requirements aside, being less than
honest is just plain bad business. The most important thing a practitioner has is
his/her credibility. Jeopardizing that credibility to artificially boost stock prices
is short sighted and, as demonstrated in this case, potentially destructive.

Answer to Question 2

As discussed in the answer to the first question, there were ethical and legal
considerations. And as discussed, there was the need to reestablish the
company's damaged credibility

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
