Who came up with this idea, anyway? I've now heard pronouncements of several kinds of huffery-puffery identified as emanating from "The Center of Excellence" for this or that, as though it was supposed to confer gravitas. Who elects them? Schools of management? The Telephone Handset Sterilizers' Association? The Union of Professional Paper Clip Straighteners?

Asking a colleague if he'd heard of such a thing, he responded, "What? Isn't that just wherever Kanye West is?"

I've been a working engineer in Santa Clara Valley for more than thirty-five years. I reckon that The Center of Excellence in U.S. technology is somewhere around the intersection of Lawrence Expressway and Oakmead Parkway. Rt3368 (talk) 03:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
