    I've not dug into the detail, but it appears that the Scottish government has commissioned experts to look into the system and why the revenues were not as anticipated and they are being shot because the outcome is detailing what the baseline already know is....

    The Review contains equations and lots of statistical terminology. It's technical. There are better things to do in life than 'dig into the detail'.:)
    ...Surely this is a positive to look into the detail and consider a solution rather than not commissioning the report

    Politics dictates that you can use it as a stick to beat the SNP for not being perfect, or to beat a newspaper for even suggesting that the SNP are not semi-deities incapable of error.

    But what this really tells you is that running a government isn't always as easy as some people think it is.
