Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 58 years. meep
Post #389,973 by Andrew Grygus 5/27/14 8:01:07 PM Reply	I seriously doubt MBAs could be really effective accountants. Too many variables. The company President is contemplating retirement, and looking for a successor. He calls in his head of manufacturing and asks, "What is 4 plus 3?" "Why, it's 7 of course." "Thank you." He calls in his chief engineer and asks, "What is 4 plus 3?" Looking like he's addressing a child, he replies, "Why 7 of course, what else could it be?". "Thank you." He calls in his sales manager and asks the same question, and gets the same answer. He calls in his comptroller, and asks the question once again. The comptroller thinks a moment, then goes to the door, checks the hall in both directions, closes the door and returns to the president. "What would you like it to be?"

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.

They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
