He knew exactly what he was saying - he didn't want to "OWN" the problem nor the solution....he was abdicating is sole responsibility for the mess... and rightfully so as its a cross organizational issues (based on the thread). This is a great example of what folks should expect when hiring/working at a large corp. So much time and effort is spent in this EXACT manner. Its amazing that anything does get done, in some respect. Its also why I found the startup experience amazing because there's no time/place for this, but if they succeed, then all end up in this type of environment / scenario.

AND, I can vouch for the pain and suffering that "Marketing" can place on tech teams and end product fails.... heck MS , to this day, cloud "EXPERTS" can not explain their pricing model, or just chose not to.
