It’s such a classic MBA-and-no-sense thing for an exec to say. It’s beautiful. It’s ten thousand times more damning than “One former employee said he seemed to ‘drink a lot of his own Kool-Aid’” or whatever. It’s the perfect quote. Sometimes doing things experts disagree with works, but the guy who’s like “Did you know Einstein failed math?” is going to cause more harm than a supervillain could.
