Looks to me, the classic, old-story again, where corporate leadership does demand beyond what the company/people is/are able to deliver. Ignoring that operating on the edge of the technical capabilities is not a place where output/results can be demanded, though proper corporate results are the "consequence" of cooperative working together to sell what the company is able to create.
So many good companies have been destroyed by that leadership approach. And now we see another leader promoting this disastrous strategy.
Or so to say, a derivative of "Oh, by just thinking about it, I did declassify documents". Dreaming "leaders".
