You'd think that any additions or changes would be saved under a diff. rev. number and date/time-stamp ... or according to some similar system. And then each person involved would be held accountable for each change etc.
:-)
Sort of. The basic idea is correct although you don't use rev numbers or date stamps because it would not be unusual to have tens of thousands of changes a day. Revision numbers are only used for landmarks.
Because of the way these systems work any number of people could have changed those logs. There not like system logs and hidden away in fact a lot of the time you turn most of this logging off. The default is for these logs to be flushed everytime the the design is committed (autosaved) so you would be very lucky to find anything.
Remember you have got maybe 200 - 250 people all working on the same file at the same time so its not quite as simple as it might seem.

True ... good point re. the manpower. I'm used to working in groups of under 15 so it's always been easy to keep account of who has done what, when and where.

Yearsss ago back in the early 90's at ICL i used to collate all the sales forecasts and publish them on spreadsheets. It was basically rows of what type of hardware you were selling with columns of what month you predicted to sell them for the next year or two.
One salesguy was depressed big time, his wife had left him recently and you could tell he just didnt care.
Everytime he handed me his sales forecast and he put his 1's or 2's (to show how much he thought he would sell in the months) it spelt out words such as FUCK or SHIT or ARSE from a distance (made up of 1's etc)
He refused to change them and me being a little 17 year old just went ahead and published them to the boss. He never realised somehow what these sheets were saying to him, he was just interested in knowing how much he thought he was going to sell each month.
