...The only thing I can say about this apparent failure is that I
honestly hope this is a hard slap in the face to Europe as a whole to
wake them up to the fact that "Faster/Better/Cheaper" does not work,
and they need to quit being ****ing cheap and SPEND WHAT'S REQUIRED!

More likely the lesson learned will be: "Well, that just goes to show that
it's too expensive to do now. We'll try again much later, when we're not in
office and can't be blamed."
