"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."
