IMO one of the biggest weaknesses of our current model is that there |
| 41 |
is paperwork to complete in the first place. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If there are ways to reduce the overall risk without having to |
| 44 |
actually deal with the paperwork it would be desirable to consider |
| 45 |
them. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
That said, if somebody is willing to fix things, it certainly would |
| 48 |
help. That is, if we use that as an opportunity to fix the underlying |
| 49 |
issues instead of just calling it done and waiting for the paperwork |
| 50 |
to end up being behind by a few years again. |
