One goofball hired by your company is the guiding light to the future.
FWIW over the course of a career of 40 years half in senior management I’ve met my share of goofballs who’ve made terrible decisions sometimes based only on minimal knowledge which have cost many millions of dollars and ruined major divisions and subsidiaries. So I would not rule out entirely the vagaries of mgt. myopia.
In particular people with inadequate technical background tend to make erroneous judgments as they
somehow manage to encounter or be put in charge of unfamiliar circumstances. Chapter and verse would fill a small book and definitely be OT.
