   "The Chevy Nova legend lives on in countless marketing
   textbooks, is repeated in numerous business seminars,
   and is a staple of newspaper and magazine columnists who
   need a pithy example of human folly. Perhaps someday
   this apocryphal tale will become what it should be:
   an illustration of how easily even "experts" can sometimes
   fall victim to the very same dangers they warn us about."
