You are the one making assumptions,apparently assuming that I don't know what I am talking about. Trust me I do.  In 1980 ALL 21 gates were wide open when the water kept rising and overflowed the dam.  Actually more around the dam than over it.  As I said before, that wont happen again.  The "new" barrier dam will hold it back while the flood gates control the flow downstream.  You don't have to believe me, but don't assume I don't know what I am talking about.

And BTW- you say 'asleep at the switch' as if all they do is flip a switch and the gates rise.  You couldn't be more wrong.  All 21 gates must be opened manually with an overhead crane.  They also have a set pattern to be followed when opening the gates.
