Not saying he didn’t, but just because someone works there doesn’t mean they know what’s going on.

Except "uncle that works at Nintendo" is a meme because Nintendo of America is a small business doesn't develop almost anything, whereas "friend that works at Apple" is less unreasonable for an American tech worker forum to purport.
