I can see Word, PowerPoint and Outlook as stupid.

But Excel is perfect! You can't say You have mastered it.

Even if You have written a book about Excel, it transcends You.

Excel is, almost certainly, the single most important and influential piece of software in almost every business.

Excel can do anything, including so many things it shouldn’t.

It's turning complete, so it's should be able to do anything. Power point is also turning complete, but not practical. Excel is practical enough to get started then moving on to something better gets hard because people depend on those excel sheets.

I'm not sure, if it's autocorrect or misinformation, but it's "Turing complete", after Alan Turing.
