Why are the opinions of some random CEO of a company that isn't even named even in this article? It is irrelevant and doesn't even make me want to read the article.

The assumption is that CEOs are smart. In reality that's not always the case. The person the article mentioned could be a total nut job lol I think that pillow guy is a CEO right? Did they ask him what he thought about it?

I've read stories about IT/security people setting up a good secure system and then being told by some c-suite executive that it's too hard and to either give them an exception that might allow them to reuse some simple password or maybe walk it back to a less secure system for everyone.

Edit: plus on internet forums, anyone can be a CEO. I'm not a CEO but I am a space admiral and if any news outlet wants to quote me for this or any other post, I insist they refer to me as "an annonymous space admiral".
