It rejects his contention, arguing instead that Enron\u27s downfall was more like Titanic\u27s - hubris and an over-reliance on checks and balances led to Enron\u27s downfall. The article then explores how character (especially of those at the top of an organization) can lead to Enron-like disasters, and discusses how cognitive dissonance can lead to very smart people making very stupid decisions. It ends with some musings about how lawyers can learn from Enron
