Hardly anybody has a clue that we exist.
Frankly, we're at the stage where "Any publicity is good publicity.".
We could issue a press release claiming to surpass Britannic now,
and it would be an obvious lie, but still good publicity in the end.

Of course, there's something to be said for integrity,
and definitely something to be said for your proposal on those grounds.
But not, IMO, on PR grounds.  Consider whether what we say is true,
not whether it will look good in the headlines.
