The truth is when a company gets to this size it is probably only the "phds" on the shop floor that know the implication of what is happening and as that message gets passed up the tree it gets watered down until it gets to bursting point

The problem with this is that Eric Schmidt is Dr Eric Schmidt. Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California-Berkeley.

Then you have
Dr Shona Brown
Dr Alan Eustace
Dr W. M. Coughran, Jr.
Dr Urs Hölzle
Dr Vinton G. Cerf
Dr Douglas Merrill

But I can follow your notion, in any crisis blame the MBA's ;)

Dr Matt
