You got it in one Mitsumi - but nobodys really listening.
It's increasingly clear that 90% of the "inward looking" as you put it are hypnotised by the superficial daily events and haven't a blind clue of the broader implications of Enron, Andersens role in the shredding of vital documents or the fact that they're currently the subject of 9 or 10 separate Congressional Committeees of Inquiry.
Or even closer to home that it was the same judge who ruled today (Goldberg) as got Solly Lew off the hook in the famous Coles "Yannon" share transaction inquiry a few years back.

Or this on Andersen at -. .<a href="http://www.corpwatch.org/news/PND.jsp?articleid=1373" target="_blank">http://www.corpwatch.org/news/PND.jsp?articleid=1373</a>. .“ENRON ROBBED the bank, Arthur Andersen provided the getaway car, and they say you were at the wheel,” Rep. James Greenwood, R-Penn., chairman of the House Energy Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations intoned to former Arthur Andersen manager David Duncan in late January, at an early hearing about Enron.
Tip of the iceberg as I'm sure you know Mitsumi - but it IS summer down here and we'd sooner doze and fight among ourselves over trivia than consider the impact of global events on AN's future.
