So basically an ass-covering squabble between bureaucrats?

"can you guarantee shit will be fine?"

"we can't guarantee anything"

"so you're saying it won't be fine"

"no, I'm saying it will"

"so you're guaranteeing it'll be fine then"

"no, I said I can't make any guarantees"

"well if you can't guarantee it'll be fine we have to shut it all down and you'll have to explain that to the boss"

"be my fucking guest"

<shit proceeds to be fine and everyone looks like uncooperative assholes>
