Getting small details right is something everyone thinks is obvious. But how to achieve it without becoming mired in processes and keeping work going is a skill that is very difficult to cultivate and a very difficult problem to solve. Requiring a lot of clever people skills. Warms my heart to hear stuff like this.

As someone who is in a group who regularly trashes DB at will, no one blames the line employees, but definitely blame people in upper levels of management

The author of the blog post has missed the point that Robbie Williams is trying to make in the movie. Its not about math. Math part of the movie is irrelevant. Also its not about someone hiding a talent and getting found, that's a prop too.

Its actually about a person who has been abused all his life finally allowing himself to love himself and allowing others to love him.
