Stupidity
So many companies cut corners and then try to pretend that they didn't later on when it all comes back to bite them on the arse. This is one of the major problems with businesses based on hype. Hype has no substance or reality, so eventually, when it comes time to pay the piper, you'd better have all your stories straight, t's crossed, and i's dotted, and if you don't then you will get what you deserve. I never feel sorry for people, politicians, or companies that get caught lying. If you lie about stuff that matters, don't start crying when you get caught. Far better off to learn the lesson, hold you hand out and take your beating, dial down the porky-pies, and move on.
