Read the following paragraph and determine if the hypothesis is true:

They refuse to testify at a deposition, and my suggestion to them was that if we were capable of resolving something as a result of this conference, that they would then attend a deposition, because I believe the defendants would have a right to cross-examine them or otherwise examine them prior to them taking the stand. And based upon that, they would then testify in court.

Hypothesis: It's best, generally, for people to testify at depositions.
