MR LAX
The crux of the question is quite simple, really.  In a sense your previous answer was to deflect the responsibility for that action to those who gave you orders, and what, and thereby to indicate in fact that you yourself didn't really associate with the object entirely, it was simply a matter of following orders.  What I am saying to you based on your answers to me now, is that in fact you did associate with the object, you had to assess the object and you had to assess the nature of it, otherwise you wouldn't have sent the information through with the kind of approval that resulted in then the decision to go ahead?  It was explained to us, let me just clarify this, it was explained by Mr Verster that you were  required to do your own assessment and in a sense, in providing a report of a positive nature, you actually supported the decision, are you with me?
