I am not familar with this, but it souds like another thing we coud
cite with regard to objecting to digital id cards, when trying to
suggest the goverbment projects never work properly.
The idea government projects never work properly is just unhelpful
nihilism.
That particular trope is also probably a consequence of Sod's Law.. 'The
more there is to go wrong, the more there is to go wrong'. The bigger an
organisation, the more complex its systems will be. Couple that with
each user being a 'part' of the system and the IT project 'good enough'
standard, and it would be a miracle if any large system worked without
an error, hence every program - government or otherwise - sending out
updates to correct the latest flaw. Also, when government projects fail
they are always well publicised because they affect millions of users.
The (probably) hundreds that don't fail are not newsworthy.
Kind regards,
Julian
