To answer your question, Melvin: I don't know. The fact remains that this person did (foolishly, I would say) recommend the boat out of fear of a lawsuit. The person only told the truth when customer #2 went on the boat, had a horrible experience, and then confronted the original recommender afterwards. Seems odd to me, but... they didn't know each other well and a lot of people do fear lawsuits. Whether a suit has any merit does not stop suit-happy Americans from suing everyone in sight and causing the hardship and cost of getting the nuisance suit thrown out. And sometimes the silly ones aren't thrown out...

But, you are right: the person should have just told the truth the first time.
