I had felt compelled to report everything important that I had found out, as if I were writing an academic paper. Instead of submitting a formal report, I could have simply informed the IR authorities that I had some ideas and information on the IR program that I wanted to discuss with them.

In any event, they would have been more likely to let me know whether any of the recommendations in my other reports had been acted on—and with what results.
