Failures almost never have a single cause. Transport networks are never perfect, i.e. delays, dropped packets, data corruption, etc. They may be contributing factors, or a combination of rare events. The hard question that SEC and the industry has been wrestling with is "Why?" not so much "How?" The apparent condititions didn't change, but the system reacted differently during those seconds. Why? What was different?
