I'm with you. Two things.

One, I assumed that the commenter was referring to the cynical kind of CYA, which I was certainly not advocating. I might well have got that wrong; only the commenter knows what was in their heart. Oops. I've tried to clarify my first comment, just in case that helps anyone else reading.

Two, I said nothing about gathering evidence to be able to produce when needed. (And I genuinely wasn't thinking about that.) I merely said that if you tried your best, then you did enough and not to feel responsible for their decisions.

In both cases, I don't think I suggested covering any ass. I certainly didn't intend to.

Thank you for clarifying and not letting me off the hook.
