I would guess if this John Leahy, who I've not heard of, applied for the job of sales person for Virgin Media, and they got even the slightest hint that he would tell customers something truthful which the customer may not want to hear, John wouldn't get the job.
Same goes for a lot of companies. Though if these sales people are paid on a commision basis, you can see why they may say anything to make the sale.
Also, selling Airbuses and cable boxes is hard to compare.
