User:Jmc suggested splitting out the details of the inquiry to another article. Karl Flinders has an item in today's Computer Weekly "Alan Bates and JFSA won't back down... which summarises the difficult birth of the inquiry from 2019 onwards, and the 2021 change from statutory to public.

This section should be about actual appeals and actual overturning of convictions. I have removed various opinions about this which are speculative and not really relevant to this section. Kiwimanic (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This goes to the nub of the scope of the scandal. The scope is not to be determined by POL alone. Its attempts to define the scope is an important aspect of the scandal. Having been judicially proven to have unlawfully prosecuted a huge number its legally protected place in the appeal process is being challenged. Four legal experts (not including Moorhead) went before the Justice Committee yesterday. arguing that point. The scandal is that POL flouted its obligations as a private prosecutor and unlawfully obtained a huge but as yet unknown number of unlawful convictions. The fact that our legal system demands that POL must have a place in each and every appeal against any conviction it obtained has led to the proposing legislation to bypass the appeal process. The section should primarily be about this rather than cases
This section of the article should not just be randomly selected list of successful appeals. It should address that ways in which the system was used, abused. Individual cases documented should illustrate and identify the particular aspects that show. The Wolstenholme case has some but not identified in its documentation here.

The fact that Casleton & Wolstenholme are civil put them under a different heading in the way the article is currently structured but the point I have tried to elucidate remains. Jacksoncowes (talk) 06:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking of spinning out a separate article on Angela van den Bogerd, based on the volume of RS coverage of her, specifically. Any objhections? Guy (help! - typo?) 23:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I assume it'd be a standard BLP article, not solely limited to her role in the BPO scandal? -- Jmc (talk) 01:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, evidence has emerged that at least some but not all of the discrepancies may be due to a defect in the actual processors used. I accidentally discovered this a few years back with the early AMD chips (4800 and 5600) that some games didn't run properly until patched because the cores got out of sync resulting in data corruption. This might have worsened with load as typically higher clocks generated more issues and the effect also varied depending on motherboard type and RAM manufacturer.
The Intel chips at the time didn't suffer as badly from this but SPECTRE and Meltdown became an issue later.
Is it worth Intel and AMD testifying at the Horizon inquiry given that Intel already knew of a much earlier errata in the Pentium (FDIV) that was later patched in the silicon revision.
The issue of an actual hardware defect or defects being a factor has come up before but as the hardware is so old now maybe something got overlooked? 91.190.161.160 (talk) 07:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any reliable sources discussing this? Can you share them here?Bondegezou (talk) 08:07, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If this is any possible technical explanation, one might expect it to come to light in the official enquiry. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:11, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
