I struggle to find it cohesive, let alone reaching any sort of conclusion of any value.
Apropos of my earlier post I had assumed that reports, particularly from junior investigators, would be reviewed by senior personnel.
Where I have been in this (reviewing) role I have tended to allow some leeway to authors in their telling of the story. Another person's style is not necessarily mine, and if it gets the message across, with some gentle guidance, then why should I try and impose my use of the Oxford comma, for instance?
However this report suggests to me that maybe there is, at best, a flawed review process; certain aspects of it don't reflect well on the organisation, to my mind.
To this end I wonder if anyone knows what the investigation/reporting process is within the ATSB? Is there a published set of criteria?
