  Michael Crichton didn't write Jurassic Park just to talk about dinosaurs. He wrote it as a reaction to constantly seeing Men building unsustainable worlds, they had no hope of controlling, being told so by experts, and building them anyway.

  WSJ knows all that. Its job is to promote the hustle anyway. In their wisdom the next gen has to continue the tradition, even as the failures get bigger and bigger.

  "A piece of software shouldn't be able to take everything out."

  These, above all, are the words of a person who has not been paying any attention.

  Not all such persons are "stupid" in the routine sense of the word, but the consequences of unobservancy closely mimic those of stupidity.

  Persons who fail upwards shouldn't be able to take everything out, either.
