Since KPMG once accidentally sent me an email that was evidently
intended to be a confidential "on background" response to a reporter
from The Economist, I'm not inclined to assign them infinite trust.

(eiv.com and eiu.com are awfully close, and at the time I had all mail
for unknown users going to me instead of being bounced.  The daily flood
of stuff for Rush Limbaugh cured me of that.)
