Yes, I do. Thank you for acknowledging that.

What you're saying does not go against my point:
There is a ton that has to come together. There are quite a few different groups with distinct leadership. They need to work better together. They need to communicate better. It needs to be fixed. That's my point.

Side note:
I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to help manage one of the Einstein fields. It was a fantastic experience. I already sent my feedback to some people in charge, and received a great email in return from one. I do believe they're open for improvements on an already mostly successful system, and that's all I want.

I said it in a tweet yesterday: Even success needs iteration in order to be more successful in the future.
