What's not true?

An independent contractor can only work 6 to 12 months before being let go? Absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. An independent contractor returning after a few months of break? Absolutely true. I also saw this.

But a US law? You're right, it may not be a real law. However, when the legal department comes down and says that contractors cannot stay longer than X months because of a previous lawsuit at a company, I'm going to rightly assume that they don't want to break a law. And the way you said "if you are a business walking up to the line of the law", I'd guess that you agree that there is some sort of law that may be broken if companies aren't careful.

I was merely pointing out the real problems that companies face by employing contractors, instead of giving a blanket "Untruth!" statement.
