Indeed, it's very practical to open the spigot slowly as a way around the two ways of thinking, penny-pinching vs labor/resource abstraction. I would quibble about turning off the switch. It's fine to hand that function to someone else (CFO-type), but when I've had nice budgets (e.g. 5mil) it's been necessary and efficient to ignore the spending noise to some extent and focus on the big picture. But that might be a personal fault.
