#12Won't forget from one of the Pratchett's book, where the word "synergy" was called a whore. Don't have the english edition of Going Postal handy to find the exact quote, but it was a glorious rant against a CEO's interview in the newspaper.

#13“Might be bad at their jobs” was a very corporate speak way of saying they might be dumb. In case you missed that and were impressed by the bullshit language used. ;-)

#15How was this a surprise to anyone with more than three braincells?
But I guess it is good to have this study to point to in your workplace, instead of just seeing that it is self evident.

#16I suspect this is why formal languages exist; as a sieve to keep the hordes of fools at bay, and a system for turning bullshit into parse errors.
We are undoing much of this progress by now insisting everything be expressed in natural language for a machine to translate on our behalf, like a tour guide.
The natives will continue to speak amongst themselves in their mother tongue.

Sure, but it’s not clickbait. It accurately reflects the article content, and seemingly, the discussed study’s results.

#18To analyse the impact of this study I recommend that we set up an interdepartmental committee with fairly broad terms of reference so that at the end of the day we'll be in the position to think through the various implications and arrive at a decision based on long-term considerations rather than rush prematurely into precipitate and possibly ill-conceived action which might well have unforeseen repercussions.

It's like crack, but for being able to be a little derogatory to the masses.
Certainly not as unhealthy as crack.
