With all due respect to PB and Tench, a CEO is in a position to know a whole lot more that an engineer and a fab tech.

Scumbria,

I didn't make that comment...I believe Mani did.

As for your comments I tend to agree...the CEO can be the last one to find out the bad news.

SCUMbria - Re: "There was one particular time in my career a few years back, where I was aware of a critical problem with a design, and was unable to convince the CEO because of too much misinformation from his direct reports. It almost cost him his job, but fortunately he dropped that product line and the company has been doing quite well ever since. ;^)"

You are, of course, referring to AMD's ill-fated K5.
