<VV> Perception is reality ?

[Charles Lee]

Perfection is the only acceptable public image - ask Tiger Woods ... how 
much did he spend trying to keep his secret, before it came out anyway ?

The good thing is that people will forget, - which may be why Toyota dropped 
the 'apologetics' approach and went back to selling perfection as perceived 
by the public - "admit no wrong" and definitely do NOT do what GM did with 
the Corvair !

If GM had stood behind their Corvair (like VW did when Ralphie tried that 
trick on them ?), we might still have an evolved Corvair, that might have 
obviated, or supplanted, the Camaro (although it would still have competed 
with Corvette, which was not acceptable either)

Do you know anyone who works in a restaurant who will eat in that restaurant 
?  I didn't think so ...
Every business has secrets they don't want you to know, so maybe Ralphie did 
some good, albeit at our expense ?

He did it wrong, but ... ?
