When you are the country's authority on ballet dancing, you're grossly negligent and should be fed to mice.

- aes256 14y agoSecretaries of State are not intended to be authorities on their respective subjects. The decisions they make are typically completely abstracted from any technical matters, and they have a wide range of expert opinion to call upon when necessary. You could apply the same criticism to pretty much anyone in a managerial position. I can guarantee you there are high-ranking executives in leading IT companies who have less practical knowledge of computing than the average 13-year-old.
