So ironic

[Anonymous Coward]

Where I work, most of the massive system failures were caused by senior executives meddling at low levels. Not just operationally, but also at system specification time. (How many buzzwords can we put into this spec?)

That's not to say that IT security and virii aren't devastating. Just that putting clueless buzzword-directive-issuers in charge, instead of those who understand the implications and directly deal with customers, doesn't solve anything.
