Pool has provided the best answer, that being - ' ..dont blame the voice coming out the speaker...'. Finger pointing and apportioning blame is an exercise in futility. Air Traffic Control is dynamic (point of fact aviation as an entity is dynamic) and therefore even the most articulated and institution supported plans can and will change.
Icao's mandate, as dated as it is, still provides the most solid foundation...Safe, Orderly and Expeditious. Compromising in any manner the first two in order to achieve the latter will never, in any quarter off the world be met by any level of empathy or understanding.
I have tremendous respect for any and all controllers who sit in front of the coal-face, as-it-where, in todays ever expanding aviation industry, as it is an extremely demanding and in many cases unforgiving environment.
