Unfortunately, that's the problem:  they DON'T know who they are.  How
many incompetent people do you know who will admit to incompetence?  As an
example, I could (but won't) cite a certain person who, having driven away
one company's customers, later went on to a more responsible position with
a much larger firm, where he today is happily convincing many people that
his employer is completely incompetent, at least with the software he is
involved in.
