You're going to have to credit it to me - as far as I know, I made it up.
I've always been put-out by folks looking for conspiracy. The assumption is that a group of folks will get together and work with seamless efficiency and stealth. In all my experience with human beings, I've never seen that happen, and it only gets worse as the group gets bigger. By definition, conspiracy requires at least two people, but I believe that at much over three, it falls apart even if they're trying to do something as simple as plan lunch.
As to compentence, I saw an episode of 'Inside the Actor's Studio' on Bravo, and the subject was Billy Joel. When asked what delights him, Billy replied 'I've come to the age where mere competence delights me.' In an age where most salespeople can't make change without the cash register telling them how much, mere competence delights me, too.
This is just the natural progression of the quote, "The two most common things in the universe are Hydrogen and Stupidity. And not necessarily in that order." - Harlan Ellison
