Re: [FRC Blog] Einstein Report Released

I told myself I'd wait 24 hours to digest the report before posting.

First off, I think FIRST did an awesome job with this report, and totally exceeded my expectations. This is a great demonstration of the problem solving process, and it was handled extraordinarily well. Kudos.

As for the communication issues that arose, words can not express my dismay that an individual would intentionally sabotage matches like that. I think the rest of the thread has already appropriately discussed this, and I'll avoid beating the metaphorical dead horse.

With that being said, I think FIRST appropriately handled the situations they were situations very well, and I support their decision to keep the guilty party(ies) anonymous. Like EricH said, revealing the team involved would cause a long-lived association between that team and the unfortunate events caused by one individual from that team. And that's not fair to the team - the majority of which weren't involved (and probably unaware). Sure, people will find out, but as a community, we should try and respect that team and not spread rumours or encourage "public hangings" of anybody.

I know that the FIRST community is composed of some of the best people, and I believe we'll get through it eventually. Let's try and keep cool heads and avoid deepening any wounds we've picked up.
