I know. They also forget to take into account that humans
typically do things for stupid, greedy reasons. One-upmanship,
gloating, getiting more money for your department, your little
department withholding information from the department above
within the same organization in order to keep your job security
intact...
I mean, if these organizations were all TRUE BELIEVERS in their
companies/organizations/governments... _perhaps_ conspiracy
theories _could_ be pulled off.
But I've worked with government. My mother worked in local
government and saw the inside. I've worked for Schering-Plough
for a few years, one of the "Big Pharma" (I think they merged
with Merck a few years back though)... and the ONLY place where
the company was "acting as one" is in a single place:
Public Relations Department.
Nowhere else.
Internally, there was scrambling, mishaps, bumbling.
