In trying to be NOT completely caught up in the "Conspiracy Theory" business, which is rightfully very prominent (as is noticeable in SP action and waves of Bashing etc.) and justly discussed here, ALTERIDEM's proposition is a reasonable explanation for the sake of new aspiring Lab staff/trainees. But as ROSEHILL AND LABRAT point out, NOT sufficient to address the full Lab/Results QC/QA story. The ultimate test should have been: "The derived Lab Results should have been detected by the Lab and never ever been sent out to Noront's QC/QA consultant'! But they were. So, the ultimate question with this would be, WHY? Speculation on how lower level staff/trainees are monitored is not seeking to place responsibility and or fault on their shoulders. But, from my perspective, ALTERIDEM's rationalization attempt should count as "educational" to ALL students and Trainees, etc., on both Work Place experience and responsibilities and the need for these lower level employees to gain experience while climbing the "World of Work LEARNING CURVE". Senior Employees can also relearn their responsibility situation as well. As for "Conspiracy Theories", Murphy's Law applies to them every bit as much as Murphy has potential to affect and effect ALL matters of endeavor. Consequently, to remain ever cautious, I will chalk the Lab issue up to Murphy, for now, and be thankful he did not discriminate against out QC/QA team. The potential harm has been nipped in the bud on this one. This is very good for ALL concerned (us investors very much so as well), even the Lab Company, if NOT the actual Lab Facility. Old Joe
