I hate it when people think they know better than the experts. Do you really think that if they could have made it run in parallel they wouldn't have? Get off your high horse and solve it yourself if you're so smart.

Seems to me like a good-faith effort to understand. And respect for the experts isn't the same as unquestioningly accepting all of their assumptions.
