Justine Smithies (nprofile…t4qe) The real problem is that, in my experience, those who make these decisions don’t understand what we do. And their IT consultants are often people who are far removed from actually doing the work, very good at talking and theorizing. Some of the worst people I met during university (both in terms of personality and capability) ended up doing exactly this kind of work: consulting for governments, being on study committees for various problems, etc. I have, for a long time, lost all respect or hope for anyone who makes these decisions. Politicians or the technicians of politicians.
Just as I was writing this message, I received a phone call regarding very similar problems. From the very people who should, instead, be working in our favor.
