that’s highly debatable about Flint. He didn’t protect the 1st amendment. The 1st amendment protected him. ---

That’s a great story. That type of story would be great to include in any FAC type course. The guy was under intense pressure from management to sign the approval form, but despite thinking his job and career were in jeopardy (and he was right), he refused to sign it. Well done Allan McDonald. I know statements of actuarial opinion are typically neither rocket science nor a matter of life and death, but that story is on point. ---

It is on point, because 10 years ago I was working for somebody who quit as appointed actuary, because he wouldn’t sign off on reserves. And I know more than one actuary where that has happened. Look guys, you may have to quit (or get fired) because you won’t sign off on reserves, but that’s just the short-term impact. The effect of signing off on iffy reserves that you know are iffy… well, not only can you end up getting charged by the SEC for fraud, theoretically you could lose your credentials and the rest of that specific career. ---

I remember a college business course where we were asked to discuss some kind of risk-reward calculation, as a member of an automobile racing team, if I remember correctly. After that discussion happened, it was revealed that the case was based on the Challenger decision process. That made the case study a poor facsimile in my opinion, since the risk was so much more extreme in the Challenger case than in the presented case study. ---
