I'm wondering who's "right" between Lucas and you.

Lucas writes about "that broken" team, you write about teams which "had
breakages" and "had fairly major issues". If there are really 8 teams
which were at one point "that broken", I suppose your proposition is
interesting. Would you estimate that all of the teams you mentioned are
or were at some point broken to the point of being unable to accept good
candidates or justify rejection of bad candidates?
I am curious to know more about these teams... from the teams that
recovered, what was the problem in these teams? How were they fixed
(internally/externally?)?
