The Big Lies in System Administration

Submitted by nomad on Mon, 2007-02-05 10:36.

I'm working on a talk about the big lies in our field. What is your favorite "truism" in SA that just isn't true? I'm looking for things like "adding just one more won't hurt", not so much the "I'll be right over" kind.

What's your nominee?
