>The grand irony is I'm not even sure most people click on or read this sort of stuff. I don't think it's often even created to be read by anyone. I think it's created as a sort of swaddling fan fiction for MBAs, advertisers, event sponsors and sources, so they can tune out ethical quibbles and feel good about how clever they are. Every time someone hypes up Steve Jobs' "reality distortion field" this is what they're actually talking about whether they realize it or not.
