<span>In </span>my country there is a game called "telefono descompuesto" (broken phone). Goes this way: a line of persons forms and 2 more persons are at the ends of the line. One of the persons at the endo of the line creates a complex message and says it in the ear of the first person of the line so the second person can't hear it. Then the first person pass this message to the second person, also in the ear. This process continue until the message arrives to the person at the other end of the line.<br>
The message is always inexact, most times funny and has nothing in common with the original message.<br><br>So the phrase "esto ya parece teléfono descompuesto" (this is like a broken phone) applies to situations where something is misunderstood as a result of serveral persons repeating his own version of the original fact.<br>

I can't imagine how such a minor mistake would make some people so angry.<br>
What i see, is the lack of organization and fragile system design<br>
which allows a single person to make substantional damage to public<br>
resources, even by mistake.<br>
Let's not blame each other on who did or what, lets better think<br>
about, how to make better system be more protected from such mistakes<br>
in future and yet still easy to manage in collaborative environment.<br>
