Personal peccadillo. Ran across the following quote in an ancient business text many moons ago, and for whatever reason, the thing stuck with me. I have my take on it, but given some of the superior minds here on the site, I'd like to hear your takes on it, if so inclined.
Also, if anyone can locate the origin, that would be nice.

I was under the impression that said affairs are somewhat underwater currently. That being said, the quote wouldn't fit. Got anything else?
Precisely my point. Which is why the quote fits, but here's another one:
it's a matter of the self-referential problem.

Too much stepping may lead to confusion.
Here's my take on it, to get you jump-started.
