16. I don't know if that matters ...

I don't see one as better than the other. Whether BP is intentionally doing this or whether they did it intentionally indirectly through their greed and shortcuts and poor practices, the result is the same. Everything is fucked.

When I was a kid, I shot out the window in a spare screen door we had in our garage. I didn't intend to shoot out the window and make the door unusable. What I intended to do was hit the target right next to the door. What I shouldn't have been doing was playing with my BB gun in my grandma's garage, both because she had told me not to do so and because it was stupid. But I did it, and even though I didn't intend it, the glass was just as broken due to my own negligence.

The problem I have with the suggestion in the OP is that, without direct evidence, it serves as a distraction. I'm not trying to pick on the OP either and normally would even have responded, but this is the third time in two days I've seen this question asked, all three times without any actual evidence to support it.
