Glad to see this finally making it on the front page. I'm particularly impressed with the actors' ability to capture the subtle facial expressions and other mannerisms that the various characters tend to make in real life under various situations.

My favorite bit...

PHB: "That's it. Now you've confused everyone. So what exactly is stopping us from doing this?"

Anderson the Engineer: "Geometry."

Client: "Just ignore it."

PHB: "We have a task. Seven red lines. It's not 20. It's just seven! Anderson I understand you're a specialist of a narrow field; you don't see the overall picture. But surely it's not a difficult task to draw some seven lines."

Walter the PM: "Exactly! Suggest a solution. Now, any fool can criticize --no offense-- but, you're an expert. You should know better."

I agree that this bit is fantastic. Can't count the number of times I've encountered each one of these tropes. The power of positive thinking will allow us to do the impossible and so on.

Though there's considerable competition for the spot, I'm coming to the conclusion that wishful thinking (of the utterly unjustified sort) is quite probably humanity's most crushing weakness.

He really should have turned that around. "Did you just criticize my analysis of this problem?"
