they have the same system in the nuclear power plant system, yet
peroidally we still have accendents and it seems that every whistle
blower ends up with radiation poisoning or something simular or gets
sued for ruining someone reputation with all the other employees
sticking up for the company. only after the company goes out of
buisness do they find out how bad the company was ignoreing the rules.

sounds like a perfect reason for everyone to aid in covering up any
wrong doing by the bigwigs, just like the nuclear power plants.
usually by the time that its obvious how bad the company screwed
things up, everyone has retired.
