Narayana Murthy, chairman of Infosys, tells a truly memorable story
>about a hypothetical situation where twenty top CEOs boarding an
>airplane are told that the flight that they are about to take is the
>first-ever to feature pilot less technology. Each one of the CEOs is
>then told, privately, that the software being used to fly the aircraft
>is the same one that they use to run their companies.
>
>Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a
>different excuse.
>
>One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed. Asked
>why he is so confident in this first pilot less flight, and why he
>isn't afraid of crashing, he replies, "If it's the same software that
>runs my company's IT systems, then this plane won't even take off."
