They'd tend to get responsibility unwarranted by their past performance because they're just so damned good looking! Hmm, if this study has legs, maybe my next resume should highlight how ugly I am. And if I put a bag over my head during the interview, maybe they'll think I'm so hideous that I must truly be a genius. * 16 years industry experience * History of delivering blah blah * Face looks like a mule kicked it
