premise: Had I known how rudely they would treat our senior staff, or how cavalierly the firm wrote us off with lines like, "Why haven't you already gone public? Geez, you guys are now toast," etc., no doubt <hypo>. And it went on to back and push to IPO many a failed company (remember @Home? ouch!).
hypothesis: <hypo> should be "I would not have published such approbation of that firm"
