How many of the judgments surrounding the case have you read, TTT? As I posted before, I share your anger at this, so this isn't a criticism at all, but many of the answers to your questions lie there in the first instance. The leadership at HMPO decided very early on, with no apparent basis, that Horizon was correct and flawless, and decided to stick to this line for nigh on two decades, and to persecute anybody and everybody who dared to challenge that line. I don't think I'll ever understand why this was their decision: there's something incomprehensible to me in the mentality that led to the leaders at HMPO to do so. What is so dangerous about asking questions, about self-checking, about reflecting on a clear pattern that was emerging? Especially when the consequences of that pathetic lack of quality control were that hundreds of people lost their livelihoods, their reputation, and even their lives, dying in a disgrace that they did not for a second deserve. It's disgusting.
