Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a pattern, or something in the culture, which prohibits a person from bringing up a problem? i.e. "kill the messenger of bad news?"

Or, is it an issue of, "shipping it on time is more important than quality?"

Or, is it a classic case of, "a hero/heroine is one who fixes big problems, not small ones, and is not one who prevents unforeseen problems?" (i.e. is visible logic > hidden intuitiveness?) i.e. does the problem have to get very bad before a person gets credit/motivated to fix it?

Or, is it a project management issue?

I sort of doubt it's #1 or #2. I suspect it's more of #3 (because Intel seems to be a "logical" company) or #4 (because Intel has grown a lot lately).
