I once had a co-worker, LS, who insisted on never saying the word "problem"; everything was a "challenge". Always. If the data center exploded in a fiery ball, we were experiencing massive system challenges.

I bet our VP of Operations a hundred bucks that he couldn't get LS to say the word "problem". Without missing a beat, he turned to LS and said "I'll pay you fifty bucks to say the word 'problem'." And he did.

So while I support your quest for transparency, I really can't participate - it's proven expensive for me.
