By contrast, your total incompetence when negotiating a critical indemnity will fly leagues over their heads. Because [[internal audit]] wouldn't have the first clue what [[gross negligence]] even is, let alone what amounts to it, much less how one would recognise an indemnity if one happened across one, whether [[carve out|carved out]] or not.
