90% of all CMS-es are better then 100% of all the people selecting them.

meaning?

A lot of organisations spend too much resources on CMS selection when what they should be doing is thinking through their information arachitecture, and choosing the web shop.
Given that most CMSs are capable of building most web sites, the next critical thing is that the web shop understand what's required and can implement it.
These orgs should be selecting the web shop, not the CMS. That's what I think Boerland is saying!
