Yeah looks like they missed the forest for the trees.

I see this kind of thing in our industry quite often; some Rube Goldberg machine being invented and kept on life support for years because of some reason like this, where someone clearly didn’t do the obvious thing and everyone now just assumes it’s the only solution and they’re married to it.

But I’m too grumpy, work me is leaking into weekend me. I had debates around crap like this all week and I now see it everywhere.
