Since I've been "management", I have to say that "management" is not homogenous.  Your generalizations are
just that. There's a lot more variety of approaches than your stereotypes (a la Dilbert) would lead one to
believe.  You think there's no conflict of ideology and business strategy at that level?  Often enough, taking
measured risk is _the_ way through, though it doesn't appear to be the modus from a developer's perspective.

The point being, don't use assumptions about management motive to bolster your arguments.  When you do, you're
attributing motivation and behavior unfairly.
