This reminds me of an episode that happened roughly ten years ago. I am a cosmologist and I have worked to the ESA Planck mission [1], a spacecraft launched in 2009 to study the Cosmic Microwave Background. Planck was the successor of another spacecraft, WMAP [2], which was launched by NASA in 2001. One of the bosses working for one of our industrial partners was completely clueless about the details of the mission and the context. One day, he entered the office of one of his employees: - Hi Bob [fake name], do you know anything about this Planck stuff? - Sure, I'm working full time on Planck. - Good! And do you know what WMAP is? - Of course I do! - Great! Now listen, if WMAP run on Windows, you should definitely install it on my computer, so I can play with it.
