Maybe they're scattering everywhere but where some 4th floor guy modeled them, and maybe the guys junior to them are also failing to put in economically sensible displacement bids.

I'm just going to believe they're running out of tricks to make the rats conform to the intended tracks in the maze, and that they're finally going to loosen this system up, and set it up for a training flow that's allegedly coming, and that they purport to be concerned about.

As long as I'm dreaming, I'm going to guess they'll elect to pull this thing, and re-offer it, minus displacements. Probably purely delusional on my part, but I can have a better week-end that way.
Rats do better in a maze when enticed with a big ol chunk of cheese than they do when pushed with a toilet plunger.
