Parting thought on "Bill"

I had been attending a two-day intensive business simulation as part of Pepperdine's MBA program. As the weekend simulation ended, the participating teams assembled to discuss impressions from the two-day event. My troubled ex-friend "Bill" (see Stirring the Ashes and Immaturity and Tattoo below) attended. The lead facilitator asked each team to comment in turn on the question "What did you find most unexpected about your experience." Bill answered out of turn with the insightful response "Well I for one found the things we did not expect to happen were the most significant events." Ah... Hello, come again? Bill's comment was not quite the innovative B school commentary one would expect; it was, as usual, off target, non-specific, and spoken like a well-trained parrot. I believe it was Bill's last performance.
