Or just the opposite!

Example: I've recently spent many, many hours (did I say I wasted many, many
hours?:-) trying to explain to upper management of a very conservative
company why their IT was utterly incapable of doing consumer-level
application strategy/design. Why? Because they gave me their chief
"Architect" (that would be a 'title' :-) and he proceeded to tell me how to
design a complex app. He was an architect alright, but a *data* architect
(and this company has terabytes of data). At first the management just
couldn't understand why their "architect" couldn't design the app. They
finally did. But that label sure wasted a lot of unnecessary time.
