Thing was stupid from start. I'm appalled that it's come thus far
Was it ever raveled? :P Rather than a tale of engineering--good or bad--perhaps we should look at this thing through the lens of psychology and organizations.
Namely, the contortions of thought and (non-)feedback that happens in the proximity of a king with grandiose plans, an enormous amount of cash to disburse, and a penchant for assassinating dissidents.

It was clearly a terrible idea from the very start.
