Uh-oh, seems like greybeards who know how to do routing properly are dying off, and the young generation is not up to snuff.
Also, people who know the number 1 principle of OOB networking.
These are challenging times indeed.

Do we really need these kind of comments?
These issues, one might think, should have turned into tomes of extensive information on why they happened and how to avoid them, and become an integral part of showing the ropes to new sysadmins, or operation persons, you name them. It seems, however, that by and large the knowledge of the actual working systems does get irretrievably lost once some Kevin gets retired.
P. S. Would you be just as cavalier if lives were lost as a result of such incidents?
Maybe the greybeards don't do a good job at educating their successors, or maybe it's the "tl;dr, YOLO" attitude at work. I don't know. I suspect a combination of both.
