Maybe those auditees were right when they suspected us auditors of going on witch hunts to persecute people for political reasons. Certainly I can attest that I have professionally seen the hand of management more than one time directing what should or should not be audited by an internal auditor using random samples. Why should Amazon be any different?

Of course I'm just giving my best guess here, too.
