Having stumbled across this discussion in mid-thread, I was
relieved to find out after following the thread upstream that
that the "foul comment" in question wasn't mine. :)
That said, I thought the other quote was rather amusing (both
in style and content).
I while I don't think that those "research" firms actually do
anything useful, I wouldn't call them idiots. They seem to have
figured out how to extract sizable amounts of money from
corporate types by providing them with compilations of useless
generalizations and meaningless pseudo-statistics. The people
paying them are probably the ones more deserving of derision.
