It is about hiring the right people to solve problems.

Their mantra: If you Don't Get It, we will patronize you to death. Me, I definitely Don't Get It, and I really don't care all that much, and I've been patronized in the past by people I respect a lot more than the Noo Meeja Vangelists, so I don't feel too worried.
