That's the problem with the whole thing--some of what SSI says is valid,
but a lot may not be. Executives may be sold on a concept based on
half-truths, truths, and incorrect information without consulting their
own in-house experts (i.e., you and me).

I'm not going to repost the whole list of "Myths and Facts" but if
anyone wants to they can go directly there, pick one that stands out and
discuss what you think of it.  The url for the "Myths and Facts" page is
