And the other half of the problem is they often have no conception of how VGSs work (worked?) either ..
IIRC, when the knackered old wood and canvas hangar at KY finally gave up the ghost due to an exceptionally heavy snowfall it was perfectly obvious to anyone with half a brain why it had happened.
And yet the CO still got a phone call from someone 'on high' asking why it had happened and what he had done about it on the day..
"I wasn't here Sir and only learned about the collapse after the event"
Well why weren't you there?
Because I was at work Sir..
Yes, so you were in your office at KY
No Sir, I was at work.....
Etc etc
