While reading some reader responses to a Microsoft guy’s rant disguised as an “editorial” about OpenDocument, I found a phrase that was almost… shocking, in the way it simplifies and clears a truth that many people ignore or simply don’t understand.
“Familiarity with inefficiency is no excuse for perpetuation of inefficiency.”
Unfortunately, many people (most of them wearing suits and ties) fail completely to understand that fact, and believe otherwise: that everyone in the company is completely stupid and incapable of learning anything new (I wonder why they keep those people employed, then…), and so, the only factor to be considered in what software to use is “what we’ve been using before”. No matter how bad, unstable, insecure, slow, inefficient it is. “It’s what we know”.
Imbeciles.
