  I do not find such an explanation to be any excuse whatsoever.
Sounds like what the banks and mortgage companies were saying in the
wake of the sub-prime loan crisis.

  I also cannot accept that "somebody" panicked.  "Somebody" implies a
single individual, but I can rest assured that a number of persons,
including high level individuals, and after considerable, careful and
thoughtful deliberation, were involved in the decision to handle it as
they did.
