Reality Distortion Field

I was watching the video of Andy Hertzfeld discussing Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field over at MacTV, and it reminded me of an employer I had. Andy was describing the unrealistic time frames that Steve had, and that the employees attributed to Steve's Reality Distortion Field that prevented him from s seeing what he wanted was impossible. Anyways, my employer where I used to work would often come and present a project to us looking to get feedback on how long we thought that it would take to complete. But before we could even think about it, let alone respond, he would quickly follow with, "About two days? Ok, great! Thanks!" And that was the end of it. His name was Tony, and so we affectionately came to call it by the term, "Tony-time".
