Avoiding Red Lights By Booking Ahead

Good rant, but a few nitpicks:

1. No, the usage of 'fail' was entirely appropriate.

Defined by popular usage, FAIL means "there was a slight incongruity between what was promised and what was delivered, and by the way, I'm slightly retarded." (For comparison, EPIC FAIL is the same as FAIL, with the addendum, 'and I shat myself.')

If the speaker had meant to imply that the system really didn't perform, he would have written that it performs "literally."

2. If you ask one thousand experts about your great idea, you'll find that 990 of them aren't experts, 9 of the 10 remaining will only tell you all the ways it can't work, and the last guy will try to steal your idea.
