Well they claim to be "risk averse", the wisdom there seems to be that if you fill out a million forms that qualifies as risk averse because it shows you did due diligence. The problem is they wholesale took that process from the rest of the org and applied it to software which doesn't work.

It's like making a crap sandwich and filling out a bunch of forms proving that it's not crap sandwich, rather than just spending the time you would be filling out all those forms on i don't know...not making a crap sandwich.
