It might sound OK to someone who's parents were always fighting or who someone who had an otherwise difficult childhood. That is not my reason for the title.
Divorces are the key source of information for much of modern business.
I first found out how much Werner Erhard had made from his EST new age training program and how he had hidden the money from taxes when his wife divorced him and made the whole thing public. Werner had made the mistake of not settling with his wife. I had, years earlier, been asked financial advice by him and told him not to hide his money.
I first found out half-a-dozen tricks CEO's use to hide their executive
compensation from the very public divorce of Jack Welch (CEO of GE)
when he refused to settle. I used an understanding of those formerly
secret techniques to change SEC policy on executive compensation
disclosure.
The giant Swiss bank UBS and Swiss banking secrecy were brought to their knees, this year, by the divorce information of an international couple who were hiding from US taxes. In this case it was the woman who wouldn't settle.
The list is long. Divorces are an important source of business information
