If you work in IT this is like a monthly meeting of the team. You ALWAYS hear "oh we are so suprised, it wasn't designed for such an amount of users/load/whatever". It's just not true. It's a show. And I really don't know why this argument STILL works. If you run 10 topics in parallel, 7 will report this exact reason. If you check them out closely 3 report that truthfully, but really let you wonder why management decided to put so stupid people on top of these projects in the first place. 4 actually have planned for this to happen, and where just not sure if they run into it this month or next month.
