[LAU] Some disturbing news

[Louigi Verona]

I think my argument was misconstrued as saying "they are just doing their
job". This is not what I am saying (and I agree that "just doing their job"
is not an excuse).

What I am saying is that in large organizations it is difficult to see what
the sum of all actions would ultimately be. And it is possible to try to do
your job in the best manner possible and still end up with a damaging
result.

In other words, I am talking about generally focusing on the system rather
than individuals. I am quite confident many would agree.
