From the above sentence, I conclude that your skills of deduction need some fine tuning. The fact that I do not conclude something does NOT entail that I conclude the opposite. What I said, and still believe, is that if the comment was made, I doubt that it was intended to be taken seriously.

So in your opinion a high ranking executive of a multi-billion dollar corporation (1) told a low level female emplyeee to go flirt with someone even though he knew it would be impossible and (2) he was serious about it (ie not joking).
(1) I think this possible. But it's also possible that the story is completely fabricated by a disgruntled employee. I have no idea which is true.

(2) If the statement was made, I doubt that it was meant to be taken seriously.

That's what I've been saying all along. I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to give me a hard time about it.
