That sounds like a quote from the OM-A intended to save the face of accountable post-holders in the office. I know you don't mean for it to come across that way but it certainly sounds like a naive statement.

Until we know the full story (which we never will, by the way) then we don't know what factors were involved in them making the error. There are those that have, and those that will. Anyone who doesn't believe that scares me.

Accepting we're human goes a long way to trapping the errors, no?
