"They didn't tell me there was a problem. I'm checking into why they didn't do so."
"That's a cop-out. This was not minor nor should it have been a surprise. What were you doing to prevent it? Did you ask ahead of time? Was there a serious strategy of prevention?"
"No, I had other things to do."
"And all of those were more important?"
"No, they were not, but I rely on people telling me things."
"So you are saying that you did not designate a specific person to deal with this specific major issue and give you a specific plan to prevent this from happening even though the disaster should have been anticipated?"
"No, I generally relied on the staff."
"I hope you realize how feeble that response is."
"Well, mistakes were made."
"That remark was one of them."
