From an IT technical perspective, your comment is correct. The system has some type of internal design flaw that may be readily fixable ... we'll find out. But, when people get locked out they try again and this does in fact create an artificially high volume load when then loops the system.

Again, from a purely IT technical perspective, the people (ie contractors no doubt) who designed the site were incompetent. The same would go for the govvie COTR's who supposedly supervised the work.
