Actually, AFAIR, that isn't true. The first reports of bounce diving, the depth incurred, and the horrible outcomes were right on target. It wasn't until Keith came in and tried to tell his lies that any "muddying" of the waters happened.
As far as waiting until the facts are "sorted out and brought to light", that simply does not happen in most of these threads. We never get a final report, and the only lessons learned are drawn from speculation.
Also, the worst thing one can do is to try and squash speculation. That immediately rebounds with charges of cover-up and distrust of the parties concerned. One should ascertain the facts, and report them, and address that which can be done in light of whatever information is released. -- US Army Management Staff College, Handling Media and Information Management.
