Why did they defend Horizon though? The Wiki article offers a POV from someone who was functionally powerless: > We have to be careful, that we are not creating a cottage industry that damages the brand and makes clients like the DWP and the DVLA think twice. The DWP would not have re-awarded the Post Office card account contract, which pays out £18 billion a year, in the last month if they thought for a minute that this computer system was not reliable I know that's something that someone said, but is it true? So what if a lot of people say that? Nobody knows who or what leads to sales or not sales. If sales were all that mattered, they wouldn't do the IT upgrade at all. People use shitty software all the time. > The new Horizon project became the largest non-military IT contract in Europe. Also... really doubt that is true. The Horizon IT report's first volume "will focus on redress (compensation) and the human impact of the Horizon scandal." Okay. But why did people feel so strongly about the technology in the first place? Who gives a fuck about bugs?
