Unrelated to disks, but welcome to the world of MIL-STD. Dump a hundred million dollars on a standard that's effectively meaningless. Ten, twenty, thirty years later, we still don't know what "The Standard" means, but the checks spend just as good as any other, and now you have this whole industry of Standard Priesthoods who can read the entrails and make pronouncements. Priesthood's a solid career track, and now you need priests to check on the priesthood. The number of people incentivized to look under the carpet, realizing the entire methodology of the Standard is, at best, incomplete? Take a guess. We'll be circling this drain for a while yet, I imagine, until the stuff actually goes into combat against someone with the same types of toys. I'm not filled with confidence.
