I'm sad to say at the time I didn't really reflect on it in the way that I perhaps should have done... with hindsight, management should have identified those risks, to put in place better control mechanisms.
I think that the passage of time has shown that conducting the case, gathering the data, acting as the prosecution can lead you to a position where you might not think as independently as you should do about the quality of information.
There was an institutional bias to not interrogate further what was being said by SPMs and the public about Horizon.
I would have approached things differently had I known that was not true.
