If it's anything like Corps where I've worked, routine tasks like 'secret rotation' can be made so bureaucratic that it's impossible to tell the difference between malice or oversight.
We're... how many decades in? When I still did SRE work, I was pulled into no fewer than three dozen incidents because outsourced labor confused assets from TICKET-123 with those from TICKET-321. Target avoidance plays a part, and as layers are put on, mistakes become more likely. I guess it's a form of an XY problem, too.
