    They hired a _really_ big-name consultant (NOT a professor, Mark!)
    to teach them his OO methodology and take a first crack at a design
    for them. After collecting a very large fee, he walked away from the
    project, leaving behind what they say is an unworkable design. 

I realize you probably can't name names, but it would be nice if you could
for two reasons. Firstly because charaltans ought to be exposed, secondly
because someone could misinterpret your statement into something condemning
lange groups of ``OO-experts'' as windbags who don't deliver. (there are
no shortage of windbags and self-proclaimed ``experts,'' but no one field
has a monopoly on them).
