I read secondhand that it was used for military purposes during the Obama years and it appears no one tagged it as now being used as a school for the past 10 years. No idea if it's correct, but it's plausible they were operating off of extremely stale intelligence.

that sounds plausible. For people not tracking, the concept of intelligence at play is "object based development". One analyst drops a label, brief synopsis, whatever, and it just sits there for the next person who comes along. The world view gets more accurate over time, but there's a recency error that's hard to measure until the probability function collapses with a measurement.

> The world view gets more accurate over time

Is that true? I can imagine it's true at first, going from zero bits of information to 1, etc. But information rots over time, and eventually a collection of old information may rot faster than new information improves the world view.

Also, the overall world view isn't especially important, at least not in this case. Each element's accuracy is what's important.

Hopefully each tag is accompanied by a date, at least.

The collapse in this case being the murder of children at school.

Sounds like (war) criminal negligence.

Yeah, it being an honest mistake moves this down from a crime you should hang for to, also still a crime you should hang for.
