I would expect Jeff to not get it. Many people have emotional attachments 
to things like pets or cars or tools. When a tool is empowering its user, 
its user gets a rush and some of that good feeling transfers to the tool. 
This is all freshman Psych 101 stuff.

Not so when evil IT managers get their rush by unempowering staff and 
making staff do silly things "because I said so." (I encountered one of 
those this week.) Then the emotions start to run in the direction of 
frustration and loathing.
