From the article: "I'm not an expert on the technical side," [Gianato] said, "but these have all kinds of capabilities and applications."
Earlier: "Gianato acknowledged that he didn't heed Dunlap's advice or wait for an evaluation.
'The routers already had been bid out,' Gianato said. 'I think John was looking at our needs now, not looking at our needs into the future."

So not only does Gianato admit he doesn't know anything (which means he's not even suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect), but he also admits that he's not sure what his IT advisor was thinking about, but, eh, it doesn't really matter because the people who are the experts obviously don't think about the long-term and I'm not going to bother asking them about it anyway, because as we all know, bids are binding contracts. Right.
