Bill,
Auditors are likely folks originally trained as
accountants and CPA's.
This reminds me of the days when I fixed computers
for a living. The bean counters decided that $0.25
per board could be saved in manufacturing by not
putting test points on the boards. ( A pin soldered
to the board for attaching oscilloscope leads, etc )
Their reality is on another plane. My preference is
that it's one headed out of town.
