Horse puckey.

I was an employee of Digital Equipment Corporation for many years. At the 
end, so many people believed that the fate of the company was in the hands 
of its engineers. They were totally wrong, and this is one of the reasons 
why that company no longer exists.

If you can't sell a product, it doesn't matter how good it is. If people 
don't want it, then you won't be able to sell it.
