We went through a lot of pain, and spent a lot of money just for data processing costs on some pretty routine discoveries. That got my attention.

What would it be like to communicate from a part of your own self that is absolutely free from self-consciousness, that is fearless, uncorrupted, and passionately interested in the truth?

It's a very broken business process. Companies just don't have tools to do this in the right way. Sometimes the cost of discovery can be higher than whatever settlement ends up getting paid in a lawsuit.
