Au Contraire. Jay has all through this sub thread tried to maintain
an overview of the broad sweep of events. His thesis attempts (not
without success) to show *why* the engineers were ignored when they
executed an abrupt about face one the eve of Challenger's launch. RK
is attempting to short circuit the disuscussion by concentrating only
on the fact that they were ignored. Mary and he don't seem to be
accepting information that casts engineers into a light other than
slipstick wielding heroes fighting against the evil darkness of
managment.
