It seems to me that if somebody were to ask me:
Yeah, how do you know what war is like?
The most fitting response would be:
Because, you see, I have fought in a war.
But if someone would ask me why I am so sure about ominious experiments conducted by one company, I reckon my answer would go:
I know it, because I used to work for that company.
The past tense sounds better to me, as it seems that the perfect tense would imply that I still work for them. Or would it?
Now, why is that? Or perhaps you have some other point of view, and I should have used the perfect tense or the past tense in both instances?
