Oh, details.
What’s funny (or sad) is that a small over looked, yet critical, detail like this will get an engineering company or a doctor sued out of business. Right after they kill or maim someone. And a howling pack of rabid attorneys will be there to lead the charge.
I this case I suspect ALL the lawyers in this case will come out of it squeaky clean, with nary a malpractice suit or disciplinary action against them.
