Largely due to the fact that consultants keep these mickey mouse units on the books {snip}Make no mistake-it`s not just field units-I worked for a consultancy once where basic literacy was clearly optional.
Just consultants? What about all the small developers that don't use consultants but do use the crap units because they give cheap quotes? I would think that the latter are more prevalent and therefore more to blame than the former, but I guess consultants are an easy target.
As far as literacy is concerned, it seems to be optional throughout the profession and it is clear that it is not addressed while young archaeologists are doing their degrees.
