Geez. That's a bit thick in my personal view.

Yes, I think it *is* your error. You did "fail to notice"...
Jake *explained* why the Design Lab felt there was a strong need to change
things. You may not agree that it was a legitimate need to rationalise the
palette. That's fine. You might be right.
But to just *deny* that it was good thinking, and demand that people be fired...
That just doesn't strike me as useful. Spiteful maybe, but not useful.
I suspect that Jake spent some considerable internal political capital on our
behalf to get this level of detail and get it approved to be shared. These sorts
of vitriolic posts don't help him make the case upwards that it's WORTH sharing.
