Dick, it would be interesting to see the forensic accounting of supposed savings, because I somehow doubt the “hundreds of millions” claim.
i am sure there were savings, and I am also sure you are right that no lives have been lost, but I suspect you will be correct until you aren’t.
It only takes one accident.
The reality is that no system is perfect, that people don’t like change and whatever anyone does will be wrong in the eyes of some people, and there are savings to be made, I am just not convinced the areas you chose with AMATS were the right ones.
