  But you are conceding the point, aren't you? It does not matter if you do the wrong thing because you are an incompetent hack or because you are a low status pawn that got cornered by management into choosing the least worse of a bunch of bad options. The fact remains that a weak solution was implemented, by you, and that it is a matter of time before your employer and their customers suffer the consequences.
