This is a solid review of why the NY Times is so relentlessly ineffectual

All these skill sets yet the strategies and tactics are imbecilic

Choose your battles, drill down, investigate broadly, where the EFs are merely a starting point.

There's a fundamental misunderstanding of what the EFs actually represent. They are a peek through a window. Not a door, and certainly not a vault.

This method seems designed to ensure nothing is established that meets publishing standards. The NY Times is lost at sea

For example, just one way of expanding beyond the Epstein files is looking at all the overlap with pervy men running modeling agencies and beauty contests. They and their co-conspirators have very high overlap with Epstein's kompromat gathering on powerful men. The Polish government recently published a statement about the wide and deep effect revelations from these activities are going to have in Europe. It's going to be at least as bad here.
