The people who didn't want to admit that the software could be wrong... sent postal workers to jail.
- cmsefton 6y agoThe full headline feels misleading. It's not that no-one wanted to admit it could be wrong. No-one wanted to admit it was wrong. There were plenty of people involved who were well aware it was wrong, they just didn't want the consequences of that admission.
