"Well-managed.......profitably....." leaves out a lot of companies.

Implies that a simple "j'accuse" is enough to create a denial of service.  I
prefer the US to Napoleonic codes, where an accusation is insufficient to
prove guilt.

I object to this wording; even without reading *any* other part of your
document, I am already very cautious about it's contents simply because of
the implication of your statement above. This is very much one of those
political "you're either with us or against us" declarations.

So - if you don't so it 'our way' then you must be unethical and
badly-managed. At least.
