Can you imagine how much worse this could have been if they’d never posted this and simply plowed ahead?

Knowing when you’re in over your head is crucial and it looks like they caught it early enough since they opened up the feedback thread. Hopefully they’ll take this, regroup, and have a bit more ground to stand on in the next phase or project.
