Several years ago, the author once heard colleagues discussing a case.

A local department that had long been responsible for inspection duties was held accountable for negligence.

The evidence appeared clear.

Two photographs of the same location, taken about a year apart, were presented. In one photo there was still a forest. In the other, it had already disappeared.

The actual situation, however, was that the department was responsible for an extremely large inspection area, while staffing had long been insufficient.

During the discussion, they tried to explain these difficulties.

But the focus always remained the same:

“Were you aware of this situation?”
