Ms Ethna Tinney:

Because I think I felt, at the time, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I would say to them. If you want to gain people's attention, you've got to tell them a story. If I had written in vague terms about my anxieties about funding, about the size of mortgages and all that kind of thing, I didn't think I'd gain any traction whatsoever. What I wanted to say was, "This is what I've done and this is what's happened to me as a result. Therefore, all is not well in EBS". And that's why I chose to do it anecdotally, rather than as a dissertation on the state of EBS.
