Well, n=2 for me, but that's not to say you're wrong.

I reached the conclusion that it's basically a self-perpetuating myth because I asked my CFO's directly about it because it comes up often.

Curious though: where are you based? My CFO's were German and... German (but the second was working in Sweden with Swedish financial rules)

Maybe it is actually different depending on location or there's some other factor at play?

USA. So we have weird tax rules. Also I dunno the CFO could have been drinking the sales teams coolaid (we were also trying to sell enterprise to move to the cloud). And there was a lot of drinking (and hookers and probably blow) at that company
