Sucks. Never guarantee anything though. I pretty much never give absolutes. There is always the possibility you miss something.

"Based on the research I've done to this point" was pretty much locked and loaded every time I had to report on the research I've done. Even when I had THE CASE on the issue, I hedged just in case I was wrong.

Lawyers spend an inordinate amount of time preparing to be wrong in my minimal experience.
