With so many other hold-ups at Chek Lap Kok, the last thing the beleaguered airport staff need at present is a logjam of investigators.
The Ombudsman's intention to mount his own inquiry into the chaos brings the total of investigation teams on the case to three.
Each may have a different line to pursue, and contrasting methods of establishing the facts. But the only thing that matters at the moment is getting all the problems sorted out.
And the best way to do that is to let staff get on with their work unimpeded, in the hope that the airport can function in the way it was intended to do, as quickly as possible.
The prospect of interrogators from three different sources teeming all over the terminal buildings, falling over each other while searching for clues and cross-questioning employees, merely adds to the fiasco.
While it is certainly vital to establish what went wrong, and who is to be held responsible, that is not the most urgent task while the chaos continues.
