And so often one will say to a CEO, "Jesus Fred, doncha reckon if the
OPT was smaller and lighter you'd make more profit?" *CEO replies,
"Yeah, your'e right again Bill, let's talk to the winder guy...", and
its a little more quality demolished by a bean counter.

Nothing but your wholly fabricated B.S. fantasies.

OK, cross to being a fly on the wall in BP boardroom, about 4 years
ago.

CEO, "Fred, you got those costings of gulf drilling?"
Accountant, "Yes Bill, costs are extremely high and to get a return at
current gas price we need to lower costs."
CEO, "Oh, how do we do that? any suggestions?"
Acc, "Well if we leave out the popenfusler pipe frame and use a
vargated cement system instead of the usual fiodikic kantel method, we
save 6 billion dollars over 4 years thus increasing profits by 2
billion..."
CEO, "Ah, of course. Well let's do that vargate method then.."

And that's how acountants get to design the drilling process in the
gulf near you, with seriously high risks taken.
