Geoff - One of the reasons the report is long but not conclusive aboutmany issues is that it is report 1 of 2. The goal is to put out what information is currently available and the preliminary conclusions,
then invite public comment and suggestions about additional research/forensic avenues. Take a look back at Chapter 4 of the report. They go into fair detail about the immediate causes of the cascade, and indicate that there is no indication that this was a result of sabotage. Trust me, from the people I have talked to, malice has not been completely ruled out. It simply does not appear to have been a necessary component. Therefore, it is strongly discounted. I'm looking forward to finishing my review of the report and seeing part 2 as it develops. Looks like there is some good network reliability research to be done in this arena.
