I could be off the mark, but I can envision McLaren pushing Honda in the direction of the size zero design and that negatives of that solution could have been suppressed to maintain the happiness of the relationship.
Clearly the honeymoon phase is over and they know it didn't work. Time to face reality, come up with a new plan and then move forward. It hard to say how much the shakeup within McLaren is part of this. I suspect the shakeup within McLaren is just part of the aftermath of how things have been going.
Regardless, it sounds like they are more on-track now than before. Hopefully they will not be too far behind now.

Do you think Mr Newey & his RBR design team are working at Size Zero?
Suspect that they are...
