Honestly, it doesn't if it's "cluelessness" or not. When employees of the Miller Brewing Corporation significantly alter, or even remove altogether, content critical of their company, it is COI editing that has resulted in a slanted article. I think the idea that "they'd be smart enough to create a login" is a fallacy. If the CIA wasn't smart enough to create a login, who is?

Bear in mind that it's quite likely that many of these edits are not by people authorized to speak for the company, but rather by loyal employees without management sanction.
Yes. It's important to assume cluelessness rather than malice.
(Besides, if it weren't cluelessness, they'd be smart enough to create a login.)
