OK so rather than “single-factor analysis” you are looking at two (2) factors…

I’m not “blaming” Makani for anything except their own results.
I merely use their well-intended effort as an example of being steered in a wrong direction by “visionary” thinking, where the vision is seen as so grand that everyone forgets to examine the details, but just go forward with what turn out to be unrealistic expectations based on some incompletely-analyzed “vision”.
