Is this obvious?

I suggest it is - for anything but the most crippled definition of "FOOM".

Right, FOOM by its onomatopoeic nature suggest a fast recursion, not a million-year-long one.

I am suggesting that a ten-year recursion time is fast. I don't know where you got your million years; what corporations have been around for a million years?

I'm inclined to agree-- there are pressures in a corporation to slow improvement rather than to accelerate it.

Any organization which could beat that would be extremely impressive but rather hard to imagine.
