Well, technically, that may be the rule. But we all know that there are many ways of getting around the rule and nobody really cares because we know it's going on. The main point is still that there are many things that can constitute a conflict of interest and they just aren't that big of a deal. Just acknowledge that it is and move on if it's not serious. It's like an earthquake. One can measure 2.0 and one can measure 7.0 They are both earthquakes. To deny that would be stupid. But they don't have the same impact.
