A Close Friend of Yours Recently Organized a Small Band

A close friend of yours recently organized a small band which has now performed for about ten dances. The entertainment committee (of which you are a member) is about to choose a band for the next dance of your fraternity. You think the committee is likely to choose a band that has played for dozens of similar dances, so you say that your friend's band has played for "hundreds" of similar events. According to the ethical standards presented in chapter 1, how should you have responded while the committee was considering your friend's band? As you answer, keep in mind that you would very much like your friend to get the job.
