It seems to provide the answer of "Clearly, not all of them are."
- WalterBright 4y agoNobody said "all".
- pwinnski 4y agoYou did technically use the word in your statement ("...all that money,") but you also implied that the example of James Daunt said more than "James Daunt is a good hire if you run a bookstore company," which might or might not be true.
- WalterBright 4y ago> You did technically use the word in your statement ("...all that money,") You know better. "money" is not "them", if you need more elucidation.
- pwinnski 4y agoOkay, that's twice you've taken the easy response and ignored the actual meat of critique. I think that's indicator enough that you're unserious.
- WalterBright 4y agoYour addition of "all" was the meat of your critique. It's a rhetorical device, meant to be argumentative, not substantive. "which might or might not be true" is yet another variation of the same rhetorical argumentative trick.
- dsr_ 4y agoIf some of them are, then maybe all of them are. But whoever was in that role prior was not, or else Daunt would not have been an improvement. So... not all CEOs are worth paying outrageous amounts for, and the world track record on making that decision is not very encouraging.
- WalterBright 4y agoAgain, nobody said "all".
