Translation 1:
We charge little money for our services, and we need to have profits so
we contract amateurs to do the job and when there are problems we
complain against something/someone not related to us. If you want a
solution pay us more money.
Translation 2:
We didn't think about a table with 75 million rows, we don't want to
look like stupids and lose you as a customer.
etc, etc...
One thing is sure, your supplier is not honest, don't trust them!
