Apparently you don’t read Guy Kawasaki’s blog very often. The entry that you’ve commented on is a continuation of a series on the lies that various occupational groups in the high tech industry tell. Guy has taken pokes at Venture Capitalists, Entrepreneurs, Engineers and Marketing types. Each of the articles is largely tongue in cheek with a fair lump of truth.
Having spent over 18 years in the engineering sector of the computing industry I found Guy’s list of lies that engineers tell a bit tough to read but I had to admit that they were indeed accurate.
I don’t think Guy is saying that all marketing people are liars. I do think Guy is providing some insight into the common lies that some marketing people tell.
Next time you visit Guy’s blog, you might want to bring your sense of humor along.
Aloha.

Thanks for the comment.
Maybe, I’ve had a sense of humour failure this morning.
Maybe, just because someone’s joking to make a point doesn’t mean you can’t offer counterpoint to that point and say that they are (partly) wrong.
I agree with some of the article, but the off-hand slights were a bit too rich for my underdeveloped sense of humour.
