I am making what I would consider educated guess on the scale of the organization and the impact of the changes. WHAT?! You're making a guess based on what? TH

  > It's impossible for that to be an educated guess. It would be impossible if I had never worked in IT or support organization. Otherwise I don't see how you could conclude that. While my knowledge of the specific situation is limited, we have to assume there is some degree of sanity to it. (If there weren't, I would expect to be reading something more likely to appear on the daily WTF than on here.) Taking an educated guess is inherently something you do based on a blending of limited information about a situation and a combination of you're own experience. Granted, the information here is limited, its meant to illustrate a point, not rail against any particular perpetrator. Discounting the point because you don't know all the details doesn't make sense. The details are in how you apply the point.

  > You're making a guess based on what? I didn't write that, but it's clear to me that they're basing it on the results.

    They got the "scale of the organization" from the results. No kidding.

      The OP posted and they appear to have been correct, while your "for all we know" turned out to be almost exactly backwards. People match stories against their own experience. Any half-decent sysadmin probably has a story or two like this one. So yes, we do have something with which to assess the credibility of the story. It would appear that you do not share that experience, though.
