You have a crazy amount of faith in big companies. I think they're far more 
like a barely controllable self-perpetuating organizism. At most, the 
leaders can put in some inputs, but the outputs may not be anything like 
like the leaders intended.

Niklas gave several examples, there are many more (less critical) examples 
out there. Just look up "New Coke"!
