AS obviously assumes that whether the TA passes or fails, the process has been a failure. Personally, I plan to wait for the vote to close before I make that decision. But "leading from behind" AS is already writing an epitaph for us. There are solid and productive advocates for a no vote on this TA. AS is neither.
Her paragraph starts out with "After TA ratification or rejection we need to analyze
what went wrong." alluding to some type of failure as you have said yourself. Post-Mortem would be an appropriate term for analyzing a failure and I think there are many who believe the process has been a failure! Also, I have read many after action reports that involved death or failure!
