Just a question,

Can anyone tell me how come whatever the Gartner Group says is considered
scripture?  It seems I can not read an article in the trade publications
(Infoworld, Computerworld, ..) without the phrase "the Gartner Group says"
or something similar.    Why have they attained this level of  authority?
Is it warranted?  Or should I apply the comments about Oracle from another
thread,  and applaud there marketing team?

OBTW, Has anyone ever heard the Gartner group say something bad about a
product.
