#2 Here you see the difference between marketing people and engineers. Both of them say "What a great idea! What could possibly go wrong?"

For marketeers, "What could possibly go wrong?" means "Let's do it!"
For engineers, pedantic and literal nerds that they are, "What could possibly go wrong?" means exactly that - how will this break, malfunction, or be abused?

We also note that Marketing tends to be higher up the corporate food chain than Engineering, and so hilarity ensues.

Wiki:
... The second key factor for the shoe firm in the early 1930s was the role sport played in the racial-nationalist philosophy of Hitler. With the rise of the Nazi Party, athletic teamwork was prioritized. The Dassler brothers did not fail to see how their economic interest would benefit from politics; all three Dassler brother joined the Nazi Party on 1 May 1933—three months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor.[16] Rudolf was said to be most ardent believer of the three.[2] But it was Adi who decided that becoming a coach of and supplier to clubs in the Hitler Youth movement was essential to expanded production, and he joined in 1935.[17]
