@paninid This reminds me of a great story in Jill Lepore's book The Mansion of Happiness where Fred Taylor of Taylorism fame went before a congressional committee to promote his views and the committee chairman wasn't having it.

I read this book more than 10 years ago and his mic drop "…for whose benefit society is organized" is still ringing in my brain.
