“It would never come into [the broad masses’] heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation.”

“I used to work on a help desk for a major oil company. One day a drilling engineer called me up, incensed about a “bug” in Microsoft Word. Seems he had written up a long report about his last six months of work, which was inspecting the “boreholes” in northern Alberta. The last thing he did before sending it to his boss was fire up the spell-checker and press “Accept all”.
