How were the bean counters calling the shots? Far as I know bean counters aren't involved in day to day operations. Departments get budgets and they work within those budgets.

Most bean counters are too busy complying with federal regulations to get involved with operational minutia.

How were the bean counters calling the shots?

BP went cheap, a financial decision was made to take a chance by deviating from proved procedures and go less than half-assed in a number of ways. The BP company man who has complete authority on the rig followed orders from higher up. Financial decisions ruled and sound engineering decisions fell by the wayside.
