You missed my point. I was not saying that this story is a good example of that ongoing dynamic. But instead that there is such a dynamic in our industry, and the telling of the story resonates well with it.

How else do you characterize an industry that seems content to re-learn lessons of the past over and over?

And in that case you could argue that they’re in the same industry

I've been working in this industry for many years. This is very true.

Surely the same thing's happening in every other industry too, though?

pretty much the same analogy I always use to describe how I feel about the industry.

Accurate reflection of the industry, then.

This is basically every other industry.

That really says a lot about the industry doesn't it.

From my perspective it's the very nature of our industry...

You just summed up the history of the industry.

Good point! I remember this period also as someone working in the industry.

It’s not just in the industry, it’s probably from high school or uni, but yeah you have the idea.

Same. I think there’s something wrong with our industry in the USA when so many of us have the same story.

sad but true, this echos much of my own observations in the industry.

Something that you can hardly say about the industry*

I've worked for multiple companies in the industry.

You just described the entire industry

This is the old story. When industry can't solve its own problems...
