So my question is: who lied to whom and why?
Did Jake cover up the real reason for the color change and give AFOLs a tale
that focused on TLC’s desire for the best product rather than its need to
cut costs? Or did Jake’s bosses decide it was a good idea to give their
spokesman a bogus explanation instead of the real one?

(Hefts large clue-stick)
The colour change was initiated in 2000 by the Design Group - as an
exercise in improving how the colours play together.
The palette reduction seems to have been initiated in 2004 by the “Sourcing
for the Future” group - as an exercise in saving costs.
That’s 3 to 4 years’ difference. Different group of people. Different motive.
Now please stop accusing people of lying.

To add a little clarity to what you said above (should be ‘Design Lab’ rather
than ‘Design Group’) it would be good to review what Jake wrote back in May of
2004. It starts around the 3rd para. My
read is that it may have been an ongoing process (regardless of the group doing
it).
