The first recorded instance of neutrinos being faster than light was recored in 1987. It's taken them this long to confirm? Was NASA put in charge of this experiment or what?
The problem isn't MBAs, the problem is public companies who are judged based on short-term, quarterly results. Blow your product (whether it be software or hardware or auto parts) out the door on the 31st for 25% less than you could sell a day later just to hit your monthly/quarterly/yearly numbers. Then repeat the process all over again next month/quarter/year.
