> They are still this stupid/dump/blind after all this time? I know very little about this specific project, but I suspect that you're listening to the first cuckoo of spring. Or perhaps a bureaucract recycling the assurances of a third party supplier. The essential driver here is that it's political suicide to give any credence to the possibility that a high profile public project is not in every sense perfect. My forecast for the mid-term future is along the lines of either an under-publicized switch in suppliers or a shelving of the project disguised as deferral, but realistically it probably has to be the former. The least likely outcome is a public admission that the customer specification/underlying concept is in any way flawed, but it may be that some of the conceptual holes will get a dab of Polyfilla along with a change of provider.
