Note that I say “chose to use,” not just “built.” I don’t mean to slough off responsibility as a person who does build computer systems, but “ it’s our vendor’s fault” or “ the tech intern did it” are also common ways of evading responsibility.
You chose to use it? You chose to trust the builder? You need to take responsibility for that. If the vendor / engineers / implementors deceived you, you need to show that you were actively deceived — and aren’t just trying evade responsibility for your own decisions when you’re supposed to be the decision-maker.
