[OT] Do You Know This Man?

From the Secret CIO column, Information W magazine, 27 Sep 2004 issue:

--begin quoted text:

(He) is one of those people who believes his opinion is truth revealed...
He thinks his initial gut feel is the same thing as logic and insight.
Then he comes up with all sorts of reasons as to why he's right.  (He)
calls it superior business intuition, but normally it's just a selective
search for data to support his own predetermined point of view.'
