Of course it's a generalization. I wrote a three paragraph post, not a thesis. You want to argue the point or be argumentative-internet-guy because you found a way to deconstruct the intricacies of my three-paragraph post? My point is, is that companies with top-heavy business-grad management tend to be crappier companies as opposed to companies with a balance between business and technology. Don't try to change my argument into, "Hey! My cousin Larry has an MBA and he's a great guy!"

"top-heavy business-grad management tend to be crappier companies as opposed to companies with a balance between business and technology" I'm challenging the basis of your analysis, which uses a flawed example (look at Wall Street!) and seemingly anecdotal evidence to come to your conclusion. I'm clearly not changing your argument. I'm challenging your analysis.

  Yes, it's anecdotal evidence. Yes, it's a generalization. It's clear I was stating opinion. That's why I used pre-qualifying words like "I think" and "I know some". It's based on experience, not data. Congratulations for pointing out the obvious. So stop trying to deconstruct everything I said like it's some sort of thesis on the tech industry. Sure, not every round peg fits into a square hole, and you can always find exceptions. But there's still a general consensus that can be built through common experience, and I think the truth of that is shown in all the votes my original comment is getting. Agree with it or don't, but please don't internet-argument-guy because someone on the Internet shared an opinion.

    There's no truth in internet voting. I suppose that means you believe all the polls on MSNBC or something like that. I also find it funny that you want to voice such a negative opinion of a group of people and not expect it to be picked apart from the obvious flaws in logic.
