Sounds like another case of ignoring that common-sense law: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I guess there is a new kid in the department who has not figured that out (yet). It would be good though if accountability went both ways: credit for changes that work and the one that is too often missing in bureaucracies- approbation for ignoring history and common sense in a quest for glory. Yes failure is the handmaiden of innovation, but that requires ongoing assessment of program and policy effectiveness which is something all too often MIA once everyone has moved on.
