@caseyjennings it's more straightforwad perhaps! but also not mutually exclusive.

and in particular for Stonecipher (by the time it was Calhoun or even Muilenberg, the die was cast), i think it's instructive to put oneself in his place. Boeing was just an entirely different kind of firm than McDonnell Douglas, and there he suddenly was. Almost Forrest Gump-ish. But he was not a humble man. What on earth are you doing to do with all these "engineers" always trying to tell you what to do?
