Was Britain complacent before the High Seas Fleet scuttling?

Why think the Royal Navy was at least complacent before the German High Seas Fleet was scuttled?

Experienced personnel should have recognized the danger, while inspection choices and reporting priorities could let preparations pass without an explicit order. The suspicion remains circumstantial.

The suspicion rests on the experience of the Royal Navy personnel who remained in service after the war. Thorough officers and senior ratings should have been capable of identifying preparations, but choosing more diplomatic inspectors could change how closely the ships were examined. Reporting priorities could also favor combat readiness, disease and fire while leaving flooding preparations unrecorded. Those choices could make scuttling more likely without guaranteeing that the Germans would act. Deliberate British acquiescence remains a circumstantial interpretation, with no conclusive order offered as evidence.
