This is overstating the case by a lot. I guess I agree that innovation should not come from the management layer of a company, organization and motivation should.

A lot of people who should not be PMs end up in PM roles, but I wouldn't generalize that to the whole profession.

Heaven forfend! We've got to put a stop to that sort of behavior. I agree with the author, people should be making big, incomprehensible bets without talking to users or looking at data first.
