I’m fairly sure this is not the case…

You can see why I think CAs might not know what they’re supposed to do, because 
the above quote is not the actual words from the the Baseline Requirements!  
Right now, in BR 1.5.4, Method 1 starts with these words:

Your version prescribes a method.  The actual current requirements specify an 
objective and don’t specify a method.

Now, I’m not against prescribing a method, but the method prescribed does need 
to achieve the original objective, and I think the proposed method is 
inadequate to do that…
