I've been in a situation where the manager two levels above me vehemently disagreed. He allowed me to continue anyway. It was never a situation where he wanted to hold it over me, rather it was something that should give you pause and cause you to consider if you are really correct. It also gave me a lot of respect for the manager - that he would trust me even though he was convinced it wouldn't work. In the end it was a success - but had it failed I don't think it would have been held over me. If you don't ever experiment you'll die as an organization.
