Okay.   What did I miss?

For example?

Great!   Can you point me to the textbook for that class, because I must
have missed it!

I believe that I merely described the situation.   If you think my
description was not accurate, then it would be great if you could explain
in what way it was not accurate.   I realize that institutional problems of
the sort that I described do exist, are real, and do cause real pain for
ops people--that's not my point.   My point is that what you are describing
sounds like it's a layer 9 problem.   If it's not, I'm genuinely not seeing
it.   Rather than being offended at what you say is my mischaracterization
of the situation, could you just point out where the mischaracterization
lies?
