Never underestimate human stupidity. :) [source unknown to me]

But given the fact that there were quite a lot of discussions about
NPS in CCC and that almost every program outputs the current NPS
in ICC or "in real" (which is a rather useless information if you're
not the author of the engine - my opinion), I think that NPS is even
the bigger seller. And the definition of NPS among the programmers
as as vague as 'ply', if not more.
