Well I can't say anything about the F.O. case, but if you consider the
many other examples I think you'll find that you're boss's fears are well
grounded. Ever heard of ProGraph? Your boss appears to be worried that the
language could simply disappear at any moment, ruining a huge investement.
Don't diss him for that.

The real question I'd say is that you'll need to convince yourself that
his fears aren't real or are meaningless. Then you can try the same on him.
Given the history though, I don't think you'll find that easy to do.
