Pitching VCs? Better know about IBM's latest OS/2

I think the point he's making is it's better to admit gaps in your knowledge than bullshit.

While I may not have been bold faced about "OS/2 is back ? OH that's awesome" I sure as hell would have pointed out that Arthur Andersen is gone, fallout from the Enron scandal.

My assumption is that he threw the Andersen bit in to totally kill any chance of 'reality' in the OS/2 comment.

I would just have assumed that he meant Accenture and mis-spoke.

Ok, if he has a pattern of saying dumb things it's different, but if he just goes off on one for a moment - why would you rub his nose in it?

Probably.

But then again, I've never learned to keep my mouth shut, which is why I'm still working for other people.
