Is this Darwinian? That is, do people who lose their common sense
and become stupid just naturally rise up into management (a la
The Peter Principle)? Or do they willingly learn to be stupid
once they rise up into management?

Chris, you're management, so I know this isn't universal (how
has your brain survived?) but it's damned prolifigate...
