I did that but he just called me on the phone and said, "Hi Sir, this is Alex Cooper from BT technical support". You know the rest.

It's your fault. And mine. All of us. How often did we tell them not to think and just do what we say? Well, there you have it.
Perhaps we should buy him a new pacemaker [^] with this cool AI chip? Don't blame me when the poor thing gets a seizure when we plug the pacemaker into his ears.

I know, but what do you expect when the poor guy has only been taught to use the brain as a doorstop all his life?

Don't say that. I know a perfectly micromanaged team of Java codemonkeys with lots of rules and conventions to pay attention to. Thinking is optional and only gets into the way of the rules. He would probably be happy there.

I worked in a similar environment some years ago. Those at the top hated it whenever we questioned anything.

If you did that, you probably needed another brain washing session. And some negative feedback from the rest of the team via group dynamics. Their problem that my previous employer taught me well how that works and how to stay at the top of the pecking order. And I still wonder if those guys are some branch of Scientology.

I thought it would take longer than that - it's not a common word.
Well done - you are up tomorrow - care to give the solution?

I watched Dave Gorman base a show on it earlier in the week, assumed that's what reminded you of the word too.
