Suppose there is a mine field between a local unit of a general's army and the local unit's objective. Suppose further that the general has a map that can guide the local unit safely through the mine field.  Suppose that the General fails to share the map with the local unit.

What can we say about the General?

Is it a permissible inference that

1. The General does not want the local unit to cross the mine field yet. When the general is ready for the local unit to cross the mine field, the general will share the map with the local unit.
   

    Why does one person not share knowledge with another person? Often it is because the person with the knowledge does not want the person without it to use it.  The United States restricts the export of military technology because the United States does not want our enemies to use the knowledge.  A father does not teach his young son how to use his power saws because the father does not want his young son to use them.  The analogies are endless. 

    What does this have to do with Ten Engine?

    The mine field facing Ten Engine was toxic 9/11 chemicals lurking in the nooks and crannies of 130 Liberty Street ready to slowly suck the life from whomever is foolish enough to allow himself  to be exposed to them.  The objective was the inspection of 130 Liberty Street.  The questions are

1. did FDNY have "a map" that could have guided Ten Engine safely through the mine field? and
2. why didn't FDNY share "the map" with Ten Engine?
   

If the leaders of the army try to scapegoat the local unit for not reaching its objective, what would you think of such leaders?
