I was making the point that _all_ long-lived and large organisations
are subject to the same sort of problems. After all there's the old
joke about IBM :-

Two lions escape from the zoo. They decide to split up and meet back in
two months to see how the other is doing.

Two months later, one lion is scrawny and beat up, the other is fat and
happy. The scrawny beat up lion says, "I went to the park and started
eating children. The police and national guard came after me and I
haven't stopped running since. How are you so well fed?"

The second lion replies, "Easy! I Just hid outside the IBM office and
ate a manager every day. Nobody even noticed!"
