  Thanks for the video. I'll watch in full later. But it is interesting that he opens with The Big Dig in Boston. There have been several counts, including prosecutions, of fraud in that project. It wasn't just because it was complex. There was rampant fraud and corruption. After some skimming, it didn't appear that that video covers that. I have also read anecdotes about that project. For example, stories of contractors tricking out their personal trucks and tools and booking it to the protect.

    He does talk about corruption a bit but he focuses on other factors more.

      Corruption is bad in and of itself, but it also adjusts incentives. So it ends up amplifying any inherent complexity and challenges.

        Complex and difficult to understand projects are also great targets for corrupt actors, as it makes it easy to hide corruption.
