A LUDICROUS hypothesis. Do you REALLY think they purposely caused themselves all this grief and expenditure of BILLIONS of dollars.

The best testimony on this subject came a few days after the blowout, from one of the surviving workers from the rig. They (BP/the contractors) KNEW they had damaged the blowout preventer valve earlier on in the drilling procedure. "SOMEONE," SOMEWHERE," made a purely cost-based (and criminal) decision NOT to replace the damaged blow-out valve probably gambling the odds that nothing would ever happen.
