The Pearl Harbor interpretation rejects the suggestion that the attack was deliberately arranged. Its explanation instead concerns the positioning of forces, inadequate preparation, and restrictions on commanders' access to information. Earlier commanders' use of that information to question the deployment is part of the criticism. These are presented as failures of readiness and intelligence access, with an expectation of safety contributing to the problem.
