I would argue that the ATLAS HLT group was bloated enough to be incapable to be performance focused, along with all the other computing groups at CERN. Both technically and organizationally. Not to mention the failed world of the grid: LCG,

That wasn't quite a prediction, it was the prevailing spirit of the times. Ideally for volumes, yes, one would go for spheres. But in reality more often than not that translates to a cylinder because of technology trade-offs, with perh
