Ad Hominem attacks like this are what make me follow people like Iris more. I've both published and peer-reviewed research, and I've seen some hot garbage come from academics.

Are you seriously asking why they didn't immediately have every bit of information and then immediately act on it? These things take time. There are very specific procedures that have to be followed.
