Maybe they did test it, and they went live with it anyway?

I think you are right. They performed load simulations but the actual load came in at roughly 3X the design specs. But I've read developers saying that a bigger problem was the endless deluge of change orders -- where the resulting code was not tested adequately, if at all, resulting in problems like the pull-down glitch. The entire project was a continually changing morass rather than a disciplined software development project with strictly defined freeze points and a production version code change cut-off.
