You must not understand the term "visionary bean counter" and what that 
entails. A bean counter worries about this quarter's bottom line. A 
visionary bean counter projects to next quarter's bottom line. As far as 
any bean counter can understand there is nothing but formless void 
beyond next quarter's bottom line.
