Summary: The EPO became a very unprofessional workplace, where the head of operations repeatedly uses the F word and promotes people for complicity (e.g. propelling European software patents and violating the European Patent Convention (EPC))
"It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy."
