Hi.
Whilst the problem certainly could be phrased as you suggest, I think it is
important to emphasise the failure to live up to our name: An Engineering
Task Force should surely use effective engineering practices and we don't
always do so - this is not a solution issue (unless this includes changing
our name and our whole intent).
Regards,
Elwyn
