You said it takes multiple people screwing up, implying that publishing content had multiple gates/reviewers.

It doesn’t.

But if there are no gates, doesn't that mean the people who should have put the gates in there screwed up?

There is no singular publishing org at MSFT. Each product publishes its own docs, generally following a style guide. But the doc process is up to the doc owner(s).

		I think you're barking up the wrong tree here.

How hard is this to understand.

Person A, possibly a vendor, pushed the content. Person B, working for MSFT, approved this process where the vendor could just push content, and vetted/instructed the vendor, and trusted that this vendor/process would represent the standards of the MSFT brand even amid the temptations of new tooling. Thus, at least 2 people screwed up, and probably more, because MSFT is a large corp and the vendor might be, too.

A common word for saying "2 or more" is "multiple". Multiple people screwed up. Learn to fucking count.
