No Bret, hubris - its as simple as that.
Once you get large, your staff and execs get cocky, think they rule the planet, can please themselves.
It happens with companies and ,of course, regularly with politicians.
Hubris, getting above yourself, too big for your shoes, thinking everybody else is inferior.
I can think of masses of folk who have a lot going for them who 'catch the bug'and subsequently bite the dust.
