Well, thank you, Gary.

I asked you to name one example of a program run under your failure-
oriented management system ("Gosh, we know this isn't going to work, 
but if we keep the program running long enough, we've got lifetime job 
security, so don't try too hard, boys") that was a success.

Instead, you gave one example of a success-oriented program that
failed.

I guess by evading my question, you answered it. ;-)
