Yes indeed. When I quoted Richard and Ed's written statements to the financial media that the TA was cost neutral, all the usual DALPA suspects called me a liar and said I was mis-stating the intent of their statements. Then the DALPA officers vigorously defended the TA as not cost neutral at the road shows.

I only care that we learn from our mistakes. What was our biggest mistake? Substituting the "judgment" and "expertise" of the MEC administration for our own judgment and logic.
