       Wally sits at his desk thinking, "Whoa . . . I found a huge bug in our
       new software product."   Wally thinks, "I could alert the development
       team and work many hours of overtime to fix it . . ."   Wally thinks,
       "Or I could surf over to my online brokerage service and buy stock in
       our competition."   Dilbert asks, "Are you going to lunch?"  Wally
       replies, "No, I have to do an analysis."   Dilbert walks away
       thinking, "When Wally works through lunch . . . It's time to buy stock
       in our competition."   Dilbert tells Alice, "Wally's working through
       lunch!"  Alice says, "Quick!  To the online brokerage service!"   The
       Boss reads the newspaper and thinks, "Our competition is up ten points
       on no news.  We're up two, maybe from the industry halo effect."   The
       Boss tells Alice and Wally, ". . . Or maybe our new compensation plan
       is motivating smarter behavior."  Wally says, "I think you nailed it."
