Peter Lynch says in his books that "too big to succeed" is a terrible cliche. Magellan was too big to succeed for the last 10 years of Lynch's tenure, yet it performed fine.

Please don't take this as a thread hijack, but....
this is a picture of what bothers me about discussing the Bible with some people. They claim it says a certain thing without citing a specific passage to back it up.

Also, this is not a personal dig at cdxx, but more of a board-wide "let's not fall victim to this sort of stuff" pep talk.
