One other observation. If Mr Game is a quality Guru, perhaps he
should offer his services to NGT?, he obviously knows better than
those within NGT who have a professional knowledge of the system
and its requirements, a skill which Mr Game's posts show complete
lack of knowledge of, even though I and others have tried to
educate him, to the point where he accuses the more knowlegeable
of us of knowing nothing (see his earlier posts), despite the
fact that some of us work in the industry or hand in glove with
it - for example I run the electrification design department of
NR.

If that's me you're talking about, I don't recognize your
description. I haven't put forward any theories, just raised some
straightforward questions on system testing. Thanks for your attempts
to educate me, keep 'em coming! I don't think I accused anyone of
knowing nothing. Others have pointed out that tests of the circuits
were perfectly feasible using low voltage equipment. What you're
doing is raising a technical fog over a simple management failure
(another poster also characterises this as a management rather than a
technical failure).

What happened in those contract tender/bid review meetings when the
question of commissioning of the new system was raised? Did somone
say - don't bother, all those protection devices will stop anything
serious happening, we've done the calculations, no need to test it,
let's save some money?

As for quality gurus, if there's one thing they learn, it's how to
sniff out engineering bull**** at 50 metres. That's not directed at
anyone personally on here, before someone goes off the deep end.
