Makes perfect sense. From outside the company, it feels like The Company speaks and acts. From inside, you realize it's actually the VP of whatever making a decision.

I always enjoyed the 'behind the curtain' aspect. It was humanizing to see that even Smart People doing Hard Things didn't always get them perfectly right, especially in the recurring "Annals of Bad Product Naming" theme.
