I agree, to me(and I do dislike having to make so many stacked assumptions due to not using evidence other than a single perspective) it sounds like the studio hired too many animators incompatible with Monty's process and Poser, because they were also more adept with the process the others at RT were used to. Because of this, the majority of the team felt they were ultimately better off using the different process and software, but because Shane was far better at and insisted on using the old process, he didn't see it that way at all and Monty passed before he could implement/teach "patches" that would have made it possible RT could have stuck with Poser longer.

The letter says alot about proccesses that can happen internally to a company after an important death. It does not clearly state anything about which way would be the best way to handle it, only how RT handled it and how Shane hoped to handle it.
