Oh ... reviewing some of the other things you have said in the past ...

Maybe I should instead apologize - and bring it down to a level you might comprehend -

This specific well was a “FIRST” in many ways. One obvious way is that it is drilling into THE LARGEST offshore formation EVER FOUND. BP used the collective judgment of some of the best minds in the world as to how to tap into this and to work on developing it efficiently and effectively. They made some mistakes, yes - their work is being done by humans, not by godlike generals and majors and captains like me and apparently you.

I have seen professional oil workers call this “The Well From Hell” after reviewing the data so far released.

Perhaps instead of being so darned certain that BP was incompetent in not having every single contingency covered no matter the cost, you should review sage words that you OUGHT (apparently) to appreciate, and that you seem to have the ability to dwell on at length as to its truth -

“No battle plan survives contact with the enemy”

Well from hell - sounds about right...
