Given all we know of Silverman, it's likely the former. It ensures the announcement that "The Apprentice" is back on the schedule gets picked up, along with all the other tidbits about the schedule - otherwise, who would care? I mean, it's the headline here - over Norman Lear returning to work in one-hour comedy and Seinfeld back, albeit in a guest short, on NBC. If he were serious about truly wanting her, he wouldn't extend the invite this way.
