If he aims it toward five year olds as he had explained it, bet it would be even more applicable to our profession.

Having spent some time with my five year old nieces and nephews, sometimes I wonder if five year olds could run companies better.

(note: obviously sarcastic but kids really do have some amazing insights that we forget when trying to chase KPIs or revenue)

    See also: various points in the Evil Overlord list[0]. Selected examples:

        #12: One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
    #60: My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used. Note: this also applies to passwords.
    #74: When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so that my five-year-old advisor can easily understand the details, I will not label the disk "Project Overlord" and leave it lying on top of my desk.
