I doubt that this is the case. Poor software design seems to be the
major cause. As Brian showed, there are lots and lots of needless
updates.
For example, delaying a withdraw might allow one to realize that it is no
longer needed.
There seems to be too much emphasis on short term patches vs study and
long term solutions.
