The significance of this is that Carson stood there and lied. When someone is paid thousands of dollars by a company and does infomercials for that company, to say they are not involved with that company is dishonest. Lending your name, your face and your paid testimonial is involvement.
If HP pays a spokesperson to do 3 infomercials on their fax/printer that does not make that person “involved” to the extent you wish it implied. Involved in a business sense means you work for that company on a regular basis for 10 years, or you’re on their board of directors. Ben Carson uses their product and he felt better after using it than before he started using it... I ride a Goldwing. I love the bike. If Honda paid me to do three infomercials I’d be glad to make the money because I believe in that particular motorcycle. Doing the commercial doesn’t put me in the league of being involved with Honda, it makes me a paid performer for a stint at a trade show. And maybe this is where you’ve gone wrong. Your intense dislike for Ben makes you want this to be a bigger deal then it is... is.
