It's factually wrong, and then it tries to explain, with parables and no real evidence, something that isn't even a problem - at least, not in tech.

It would be far more useful to (e.g.) think about how to match innovations to the market, and how to create balanced corporations that include a working mix of all the so-called corporate life stages.
