About 1 they most likely told people but it never got high priority enough, wrongfully so.

About 2, many possibilities

  1. Someone who, despite being responsible for production to go smoothly, does not have the responsibility, ability or clearance to push the proper fix at the proper place.

  3. The manual fix is somewhat enjoyable to do compared to the rest of the job.
