This could be a topic for a whole new thread.
Some quotes are spotlighted for being "true" or some memorable/important principle. Others are spotlighted because they are funny/interesting. I felt this was funny/interesting (particularly because it is something that is sort-of contrary to an engineering mindset (engineers don't like to fail, and most don't like to blow things up), and FIRST is filled with engineers, therefore, it is ironic, and irony is a type of humor), so I spotlighted it.
I wasn't around when the spotlights were started (I think it was in 2002, based on searches), so I'm not entirely sure what the original purpose of the system was. Please correct me if my idea of what makes a "spotlight-worthy" post isn't accurate.
