I’m not suggesting the same exact thing happened, but it’s hard to believe there weren’t some overarching management issues going on, and it seems likely they contributed to problems further down the line. A couple blunders could’ve been a fluke, but I think we’re past the “it could’ve been a fluke” stage.

Of course, this is all pure conjecture, but nobody can really be all that sure. I’m sure even people at Intel have differing opinions about what was wrong.
