Change History

I have, but resent the arrogant notion that [i]everything[/i] can be quantified, and that being the justification for what's "valid" or not. I used to work for a major corporation that went wholesale into the "quality" movement. The concept itself is/was a wonderful thing, but by the time the corporate suits and human resources people got done with it, it was a half-baked pseudo-philosophy of life, the universe, and everything. One of many notions that stuck in my craw was that market share indicated quality. I countered with GM versus Ferrari, but nobody would agree, in part due to "not rocking the boat" and protecting their own derrieres. Another part was the self-stoking belief in "happy horse---t." My suggestion was to simply read [u]Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.[/u]

And not that it's these people's job to be poetic, but I'd like to see them run some numbers on Michelangelo's Rondanini Pietà
