I tried researching that "double your rate of failure" Watson quote and found it from at least 1961. It should be noted that it's from Thomas J. Watson Sr. and not his son, Thomas J. Watson Jr.
I love the Frictionary!
Thanks to Barry Popik for the additional information - edit coming up. Glad you like The Frictionary.
