> They put their passwords in their wallet and in their phone. The author is underplaying the problem here. There were tests that showed burns through the o-rings and the reports rationalized the danger-- not by normalization of deviance but through deceptive language. It's a lot more like having an audit that shows that no users were observed writing a password on a sheet and putting it in their wallet. And since extant passwords sheets stored in wallets don't match an idiosyncratic definition of "written down" they pass the audit. That's not to say that normalization of deviance didn't happen. Obviously both it and a more direct type of corruption happened. But I get the sense the author here is trying to cram everything into the former to make a tractable problem out of a messy political situation.
