"mental illness" is not the issue, not at least in a clincal or truly explanatory sense. I'm not a psychiatrist, but I've read about Cowpland's since the days of Mitel, and followed his actions for the last two years and the explanation that best fits my limited facts is that he has a really distorted view of reality. Now look up in a medical volume under the definition of "mental illness". I have called him in the past a "pathological optimist" since I feel this is the best term to describe how he can keep issuing "positive outlook" press releases after ten quarters of an underperforming stock. There is a fine line between genius and madness. IMHO Cowpland went to the other side with this WordPerfect thing. Who could blame him? The pressure must be enormous. Just to reiterate, I'm not a psychiatrist, so I could well be wrong. This is only my own subjective opinion.
