Which one of the following people is an errorist?
1) The customer, whining about some bugs.
2) Our tester, finding bugs where nobody has found any before.
3) Bosses who generally don't know what's going on and made an art out of it.

Not all managers are mistaken. Some simply are treacherous liars.

The other two are just doing their jobs as best they can in their situation which isn't all the good anyway.
The Boss on the other hand. Knows his position but also knows or doesn't know that he knows nothing.

Quote from a boss:
"A project leader does not need to know anything about the project he manages. In fact, that would be a great distraction."
And that was not intended to be a joke.

The customer is always wrong. He doesn't know how to use the product ...
... in the way the developer intended it to be used.

... update from the field-hospital at the front: mirabile dictu the gone-awol hard-drive has now reappeared after several re-boots ... viewing it in "This PC" it appears with a red content-utilized bar rather than the usual blue ... signifying, I guess, "wounded." ...
Another small triumph for the demons: today, I tried doing a Win System Image (8.1) back-up onto a 1.5 gig (Sata 3.0) hard-drive (with lots of free space); it failed, and now the 1.5 gig Tb drive won't mount. I've done the usual bit about dis-connecting the drive and re-connectiing, re-booting, examining the BIOS info, etc.
The fact the fried-critter don't show up in the BIOS is, I assume, a death sentencel, but I'll try mounting it on another machine and see what happens.
Whilst the drive is still under warranty, and replacement under warranty here in Thailand (for WD drives) is fast and no-questions-asked, and no inscrutable forms to fill-out, this drive happens to have my entire prized collection of movies, downloaded British TV programs, music, etc., on it 
Now: don't you feel happy because this didn't happen to you; doesn't it make you just want to smirk and utter profound platitudes like "one back-up is never enough" ?
cheers, Bill

Ummm... if the data existed only on the failed HD then it wasn't really a back-up at all. 
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Why, "yes," Brother Marc: for a man of your Gargantuan stature 1.5 gigs would not back-up a smidgen's-worth of those of your neurons hat contain only the memory of one day !
I use the term "Gargantuan" here because, unfortunately, as in the case of "schadenfreude," English has no "native" word that refers directly to the weltanschauung of his fellow-giant son, "Pantagruel," of whose philosophy's guiding ethos Rabelais wrote: "une certaine gaîté d'esprit confite dans le mépris des choses fortuites" ... "a certain gaiety of mind pickled in the scorn of fortuitous things."
