• Our approach has worked for us. Look at the fun we, our managers, and our shareholders are having. More people should copy us. It's not difficult, but it looks difficult because it's unconventional - it isn't the way things are normally done.

It showed, boomed the executive, that such tests are idiotic. That's what it showed.
