They have to be pressed to consider the disasters and how to prevent them,
otherwise they will always be late. Quod erat demonstrandum.


Nope! This only demonstrates that **** happens. The fact that despite
massive government regulations **** still happens. QED.

The real incentive to consider the disaster and how to prevent it is the
massive amounts of money lost when disaster strikes. Despite the great
incentive, **** happens, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose,
sometimes due to incompetence. My guess is the most competent people on
earth to consider this event and how to prevent it did exactly that.
Eventually, we might find out what actually happened.

Right now, while Obama has his [Jack] boot on BP's neck, I'm wondering
why he didn't implement the contingency plans in place to minimize the
impact of this particular disaster?
