As far as I'm concerned, "new paradigms" are called that because they're
worth exactly twenty cents.

Or does it mean they're redoing Roosevelt's image on the obverse?...

I haven't been asked any of the mind game interview questions since the
dotcom, and every company that ever asked them of me ended up crashing
and burning. So what these questions tell me is that the interviewers
haven't the initiative or skill to devise questions that actually relate
to their real-world needs and are pulling questions off the web or from
one of those "new paradigm" management books that ultimately turned out
to be "how to start and crash a company before you make it to the tenth
easy lesson" manuals.
