It's just a superstition. I give demos all the time, and I hate it when I do a test run and people tell me how awesome it's working. Tell me afterwards, you'll jinx it if you tell me before. It doesn't actually work that way, but hot damn it feels like it does.

And the demos I give don't put anyone's lives at risk!
