When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Ι suppose this is the article you are referring to:
A successful business only needs one entrepreneur, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the founder of easyJet, told Times Online last year. "You also need somebody around who knows what they are talking about," he explained.
Recently, however, it has been arguable whether any of the myriad "easy" businesses has benefited from the attentions of even one wholly-committed business firebrand.
Since he floated Easyjet in 2000 and later stepped down as chairman, Stelios has been busy. He has opened a chain of internet cafes, a car rental service, screened films at his orange-fronted Milton Keynes cinema and revealed plans for a pizza delivery service. Meanwhile, he remains heavily involved with the listed shipping business, Stelmar, which he would like to see merged with OMI, the rival maritime company.

It means that the guy is one way or another always causing trouble, in fact this is his purpose ... he has dedicated his life to causing trouble in international business (with a bit of irony, of course).
Something went wrong...
