"It's like driving down the highway at 60 miles per hour and retooling your engine at the same time," Stier said. Really? I thought it was like trying to change the engine in an airplane while in the middle of the flight.
Do they teach a version of this metaphor at the USDA Grad School? Maybe it's mentioned in "SES for Dummies"? Memo to Max and Federal managers everywhere: Please, please, please, retire this metaphor.
