Dude--learn to read for comprehension. Tonto clearly said he was guessing as to why they were doing this, and gave a supposition as to their logic for doing this. He never claimed authority, nor knowledge, nor expertise--other than having similar experience in hiring/firing people.
He was contributing to the discussion, while you are just trying to pick a fight.
I'm not exactly sure how I hit a nerve, but I've decided to exit the conversation.
