Big lies are more easily believed!
"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad.
The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies, but would be ashamed to tell big lies." Adolf Hitler -- he would know !
So too, if a project is fouled up, is it usually fouled up beyond all recognition ?
(If it wasn't spectacularly fouled up, any residual desired functionality and desired reliability could easy be "hauled in", using the existing scaffolding of, for example, an unreliable system with slabs of functionality missing).
Did someone do this to Collins Australian submarine project ?
(I don't know, I'm merely posing the question).
