If you want to believe a KDFWR fine. I have known a couple KDFWR employees good guys dont get me wrong but they dont know everything. Most likely he heard it from a buddy who heard it from another guy. Maybe he is right and everybody else is wrong. But I am pretty sure they didnt take law classes when they started.
