great apology, but doesn't justify the incompetence and initial justifications. You're telling me that no one on your team has brought up the issue throughout

great apology, but doesn't justify the incompetence and initial justifications. You're telling me that no one on your team has brought up the issue throughout the whole process? That leaves three possibilities. 1. someone brought it up but you ignored it and pushed through anyways 2. Nobody brought it up due to incompetence 3. Both happened just 2 happened late in the process. Why would anyone trust their data with leadership that incompetent?
