Speed , I believe Franklin already laid out the case that the AMA championed the language of "within the programming" in the original #336 , and since Hanson was at the helm at the time the responsibility lies with him .
Going back to my Titanic parallel , although Captain Smith may not have had his hand actually on the controls when the iceberg was struck , it was ultimately his responsibility that the ship sank .
