Galindo: I disagree. An oil industry background is no guarantee of success. Look no further than Pod Oil's last chief executive, who had decades of oil industry experience but steered the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

Galindo�s argument is flawed in that it
fails to justify its presumption that Fremont's objection is based on personal bias
fails to distinguish between relevant experience and irrelevant experience
rests on a confusion between whether an attribute is necessary for success and whether that attribute is sufficient for success
bases a conclusion that an attribute is always irrelevant to success on evidence that it is sometimes irrelevant to success
presents only one instance of a phenomenon as the basis for a broad generalization about that phenomenon
