I'm reminded about the old British Rail gag about 'the wrong type of

In Australia we have the wrong type of millipedes! LOL.
A couple of observations on failures, I have worked as a complex systems
Technician
for 30 years, worked in a Control room for 2 years and done unix system
maintence for
a number of local ISP's,
There would be few staff in management or public relations who would
have any kind of
detailed technical understanding. This particularly applies to railway
signalling and
power supply, both which are very complex, detailed explanations would
end up being garbled
and therefore of little use. So when as a technician you report
something that will end
up as a media report you just give a simple basic report, anything else
will cause problems.
If any management require a detailed report you of course do so, but
public relations will
rarely if ever ask for such a report.
