Why don't you believe her? (sm)

I work for KS also, and while I don't personally transcribe 3000 lines a day (more like 2000) on my account, it doesn't mean someone else can't on another account. Platforms, dictators, account, macros, internet speed, experience, work types, etc. are all factors in how fast we are. KS has different platforms they work with...some are more user-friendly and, therefore, faster than others. Why would this MT lie about her lines?
