Excel is ubiquitous in the corporate world and most spreasheet in the corporate world are completely full of errors everywhere. Not just errors but also broken assumptions.

The world started making much more sense to me from the moment I realized most business decisions were taken based on powerpoint presentation containing numbers coming from broken Excel spreadsheets.
