I don't think there's a huge amount to be learned from digging up this. Many have entrenched views on the subject, regardless of how many reports are created. Me, i think even if the Phoenix group had all worked for free it wouldn't have changed how and what happened, it'd pushed it back yes but not in any meaningful way. The company would have still gone under, the rot had set in long ago.
As to the government, well they were worried about pouring good money on after. They were in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation.
