She is right I guess...
I always wondered when they will get their act together on electric cars and run a dynamo/alternator off the undriven wheels for charging the batteries - free power for ever!

You laugh, but my old supervisor used to ask this all the damn time. SUPERVISOR, mind you. At a chemical manufacturing plant. It boggles the mind.
Finally, I lost it one day and linked him to this famous simpson's quote:
Then I sent him several links to Wikipedia so he could learn what thermodynamics was. (facepalm)
How someone manages to rise to a position of such power and importance while being so utterly ignorant is beyond me.

A Russian arrives in New York City as a new immigrant to the United States . He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, "Thank you Mr. American for letting me come into this country, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and a free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am a Mexican."
The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America ."
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."
The new arrival walks farther, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand, and says, "Thank you for wonderful America !
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am from Middle East . I am not American."
He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you an American? She says, "No, I am from Africa .."
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and says, "Probably at work."
the answer is simple adam.
imagine that you are an employer and you have two emloyees. One is all about work, nothing can be done without him, he is knowledgable etc etc etc. The other one is an ok guy, can be trusted but is not as brilliant as the first one.
so, if you promote the first one, who would get things done then? This is why the "useless" guys get promoted
