But of course, who owns the prosecutors and the investigators?  The government.&lt;p&gt;And we&amp;#x27;ve been taught by government schools to be &amp;quot;good germans&amp;quot; (Eg: to give the benefit of the doubt and wide latitude to government.)</text></comment>

Obviously it could be within that range, but that&amp;#x27;s an oddly specific number.</text></comment>
