The full story of what exactly precipitated the downfall of the BBC's director general and his CEO of News is probably still emerging.
But one part of it, to my mind, isn't in question: Tim Davie's explanation that one of his main reasons for resigning was the human toll that five years in the job (and, presumably, particularly the difficult, error-filled past year) have had on him.
In his resignation email to staff, he wrote of "the very intense personal and professional demands of managing this role over many years in these febrile times".
On a human level, it's relentless. But there are plenty who - perhaps understandably - have little sympathy for the outgoing DG.
They point out that the job is highly remunerated (it is), brings many perks with it (it does) and that there were just too many mistakes on his watch.
