The same could be said with clothes, cars, house interiors etc. etc.

It's all about the presentation. Aren't you (of all people) in marketing who plays off of this shit?

This is why engineers hate marketing/sales. And why sales loves PPT- no details required. Everything looks just fucking wonderful until you actually try to make it work.

“When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war,” . That's fucking awesome.

I hate Power Point with a passion. I had a speech/communications class and all they did was tell us how to BS on a powerpoint to impress people. Before that class I really had no opinion of them.

If I was a company CEO and someone came in with a powerpoint I'd fire them on a spot. I'm a CEO and as far as I'm concerned I have 39 hours in a work day and all day to listen to boring dribble that will help my company. I remember writing excellent reports and research but wasting a ton of time on a power point when I could have been retrieving more information.

And no doubt when you're CEO it'll be for Timex.
