It has all the features of something that would be deliberate, but I don't believe we've ever talked to anybody who said it was deliberate. But, clearly, there is pride in the standard they have. There are forces that believe this is still a good and wonderful thing to do. What their ultimate motives are is not immediately clear. No doubt there would be some that could perhaps be characterized as acting with a deliberate nature.
