They have every reason to be among the most busy people in the stadium and no reason to distrust their own selections. This is my argument against DampRobot's question of institutional knowledge.
Should've clarified a bit. I'm not at all surprised FIRST didn't find it. There is no scenario in which they could've found the issue before Einstien. I'm saying that a) if they implement some sort of a feedback system, maybe the troubleshooting will be more comprehensive and b) the mystery mentor probably isn't the only guy who was aware of the problem before he tried to alert the FTAs. Just my 2¢.
