11. I think this is true and on point.

The one reason I think it is still worth chasing the files is that I think a lot of the women were paid off or forced to sign NDAs. I think there's probably a number of them that are happy for the information to be forced out via the files but who aren't comfortable just coming out and talking in public about it because of the risk to them and their families.
