> all I've heard about this guy

Hearing something else would require a journalist to formulate an alternative narrative. Not only would that conflict with their peers, it's not very interesting for readers ("actually that guy with the sub took a sufficient level of care").

Have you every had insider knowledge about a public story? How different was it from reality?

How did it get designed and built then? I wouldn't own up to this project with bad press. Would you?
