The thing about this is, I worked for bosses in the 1990s who'd spend an afternoon goofing around with FileMaker Pro, and then tell their entire staff they made a "database" that had to be put into "production" ASAP. My belief then was that the boss person went golfing with one of their equally-uninformed boss buddies, heard a bunch of tall tales about some software or another, and then had to mimic what their buddy did so they could brag next time.

This looks like that, except the outputs are creepier.
