That was not a bug, that was a feature. This kind of thing happens not because the industry is clumsy: all industries are somewhat clumsy. This kind of thing happens because politicians are perfectly to let a clumsy industry handle people' lives. The scope statement probably insisted more in avoiding false negatives than false positives. Regards, -- Nicolas George
