Bureaucracy is almost always the reason. They don't just need a website, they need -their- website back, because it was programmed with a million little business rules and pricing logic and regulatory requirements.

My understanding is that that interpretation is an urban legend. Wikipedia attributes the joke to an 1847 article, which is phrased in a way that clearly isn't intended to have some deeper meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org&#

> In O(n^2), the size of the input is n and the amount of time, or space, or some measure of the cost has an upper bound that is proportional to n^2. Yes, this is my point. In the article, they classify an O(n^2) startup as one which ach
