I think the problem is obvious. Intel has reached that critical point in the life of large, once "invincable," company, where the CEO wakes up one day and realizes that he is surrounded by remoras. Somewhere, someplace, there was an engineer who went to sleep knowing there was a problem. The question is why he wasn't able to influence the decision making process.

What's surprising to me is that that CEO is still around...no matter who screwed up, he is the one ultimately responsible.

Another example was the Floating Point Flaw - and I know the engineer you describe.

Eric-

Nicely put.
I hate to think that the fear and paranoia in the Intel culture may be inner-directed.
