This is exactly how they should continue to operate going forward. It's a phenomal improvement. It's also an example of a company that's stated undeniably "We are not afraid of being wrong." It's a lesson a whole lot of engineers could learn.

Thank you to that group of mentors for creating such a huge culture shift in FIRST, and thank you to Frank and the rest of the folks at FIRST for doing it right.

This was actually what I thought of upon reading some of the comments in this thread. For those curious, here's a link to the original thread with the letter sent to FIRST
