This is a GIFT.

If the Navy's investigation turns up that social engineering stuff was even part of the cause of these collisions, I agree that it would present the perfect opportunity to roll it back. "See - it doesn't work!" is usually a pretty persuasive argument. < / optimist >

If they find it social engineering is involved in any of this they’re going to ignore it at all costs.

If it turns that up nobody will ever hear a word of it from any official source. I love my Navy, but it's the truth. It's too soon to draw any broad conclusions but every minute spent concentrating on social issues in training is a minute wasted to combat effectiveness. There are only so many minutes, after all. The duty of management is to prioritize and it doesn't help when anything at all other than efficiency gets priority in training and in the placement of personnel in critical positions. And it has. And if 17 sailors are now dead because of that a whole lot of heads should roll.
