Pretty easy. This week I read where a developer in kalifornia may be
stopped
because a anti-growth plant "expert" "found" a rare plant on the property.
There's no prior history of the plant being in the area. The nimby locals
have been fighting the development of the land.

I was deposed in a similar situation. The plaintif's lawyer asked me
describe a gopher tortoise. He asked if I had ever seen gopher tortoises on
the airport property. I've seen them there since I was a kid. The lawyer
asked if I had seen 52 of them on the airport property. That's when the
purpose of the deposition hit me and I had to try like h**l to keep a
straight face. Bottom line is that there is still only one FBO, lots of open
space, and a gopher tortoise crossing sign at the airport.
