Many business people incorrectly believe that brute strength ensures survival, see it as a virtue, and think of themselves as strong. They don't want to deal with any evidence that contradicts their belief.  This appears in many entrepreneurial based businesses and they incorrectly quote Charles Darwin as "... the strongest survive."

In reality Charles Darwin stated "It's the most Adaptable of the species that survive".  It is not the strongest or the smartest of the species that survive.

If we review the changes in transportation that have occurred from horses, to steam engine trains, to the Model A Ford, to our big gas guzzlers, to RV craze, and now the hybrid car- the way people get around and navigate has certainly changed and business have been adaptable.
