The more that comes out, it begins to seem like an extended murder/suicide pact. On the other hand, he likely just believed in his hype and really thought he could slap it all together. Tragic.

He seems to have really thought he was smart enough to outwit all the engineers who told him not to. He called it "innovation" but to others it looked like hubris and delusion.

It just goes to show that you can bullshit, bully & fire as many engineers as you like but you can't bullshit physics. There's no talking your way out of being crushed at depth.

The hubris that people like that guy have, precludes them from having any doubts about their judgment or ability, while seeing anyone with a contradiction opinion as "just not getting it".

They are high huffing their own jenkum
