It amazes me how often Symantec is in the news about the same subject, yet they seem to be incapable of learning a lesson from it.

As they say "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
I don't think that's the case here, I think Symantec understood perfectly but thought they were too big to get anything more than a slap on the wrist from Chrome. Chrome's previous sanctions on Symantec, though very helpful for those trying to evaluate Symantec and inconvenient to implement on Symantec's side, were not much of a threat to their business.
If they were learning lessons from it, they wouldn't be in the news so much for it.
