Success

A feat of misdirection

It's possible that you said certain things and consorted with certain people, but then all manner of things are possible. No one wishes to stand by what they said. It is safest for everyone to assume you did nothing untoward.


Failure

The rumours persist

Despite your ability to manipulate the public's perception of your products, on this occasion you have been unable to manipulate the public's perception of you.
