Setting aside the larger issues I find it's curious that Dave doesn't even take a moment to consider that perhaps "Roy" just didn't like working in the style that Dave demanded. Some people do need to think a lot before pooping out the golden gem or perhaps just need some reflection before they can move on. Some people are hard to collaborate with, maybe Dave was, for Roy? Dave's position seems to have been "there's one way to work, you can't do it with me on these big things so let's try the same method on these smaller things. Oh that doesn't work either, let's try the same method with a different person." Never any critique of the methods used by the authority structures. I reckon this does, in fact, have great bearing on the larger issue.
