Yes - competent on the trees in Horizon, but utterly incapable of taking a "forest view" as a witness, as he was required to do. His poor instruction was totally on POL/FJ. If they'd done even the minimum on that, they'd have quicky realized he was the wrong man for the job. He himself said he preferred his "day job" chasing + fixing bugs!
I can't help feeling sorry for this guy. He seems to have been set up as the fall guy by those at the top being paid millions for their incompetence. He comes across as a genuine, honest individual who has been placed in an awful position. He is certainly a better witness than most of the PO management.
100% agree. A technocrat too eager to please + incapable of thinking broadly enough to ask the right questions about his role in the legal process. Totally on POL/ FJ re his non-existent education on being an expert witness.
