Both were point mistakes, which I think anyone would agree are bad but just huge mistakes. Running what is effectively a bank that loses $400m over the course of a couple of years in a constant bleed is not a mistake, it is negligent.

The person I replied to suggested it wasn't negligence. Maybe you should argue about what words mean with him, first?
