OK. I think I see more where you're coming from now. I would say, though, that if the management weren't rushing production and were better, well, managers, problems like that would be less likely to happen. It's not that it would never happen, but from what we've seen of LTT over the years, this isn't an isolated incident. While I like the on-screen personalities of people in their logistics department, the truth is that it's been a mess and has been allowed to continue being a mess. As CEO and owner, ultimately that blame falls on Linus, but it also falls on the head of logistics and other management positions. You could chalk it up to one innocent mistake made by one employee, but it's at least three mistakes compounding on top of each other which are part of a larger system of mismanagement.
