It is always EASIER to determine whether a statement is valid or not, by trying to prove that it is wrong, rather than trying to prove that it right. In scientific hypothesis testing, we always try to prove that the null hypothesis Ho is wrong - if we can't, then we accept Ho's argument.
In other words, if we want to validate the statement 'all swans are white', we just need to find 1 black swan to get our answer, rather than waste the time searching for thousands of white ones. Similarly, d.o.g does not need to find tons of reasons to prove whether Mr Lin is a shrewd businessman, he just needs to find the ONE reason to show that he is NOT.
This is naivety. U cannot expect a shrewd businessman to not make mistakes at all. This is not a all-or-nothing situation, or a win-or-lose situation. If you think this way, you show how green you are, or how wet behind your ears you still are.
