I think it's relevant for many reasons. But I was reminded of the information when I noticed that Yahoo seems to be blaming the 15%.

  ... which is why you italicized the 85% bit? But one is a percentage of people, and the other a percentage of problems. If I'm misunderstanding, it would be helpful if you explained further.

    Sorry, it's difficult to take that wikipedia article and make a soundbite out of it. Elsewhere in the source you'll see this: > Placing blame on workforces who are only responsible for 15% of mistakes where the system designed by management is responsible for 85% of the unintended consequences I didn't use that, because it doesn't have any context with it.

      Does "a poor workman blames his tools" apply to management?

        Sounds likely here, though it's a bit creaky :)
