I.T. Failure =/= Practitioner failure

In this piece I make a case that problems with I.T. are not failures on the part of the Practitioners.

Computing/I.T. failures have been noticed as serious since the mid-1960's. Within the first 15 years of commercial computing.
There has been ample time to fix the problems we see around us today.
There are very good models of what can be done, and how to do it: e.g. Aviation

So what's going on??
The people that can force change and improvement are not.

Some other game is afoot. What it is we can only guess at...
