Imagine that your company is young, lean and quick while everybody else is old and big and maybe a bit lazy. You'll inevitably become a bit lazy yourself, never thinking further than "old and big and maybe a bit lazy" when everybody else is doing a thing one way. Why waste energy on looking for other reasons they might have for doing it that specific way when you already have a perfectly fine explanation? A perfectly fine explanation that is also irresistibly flattering?
Telling apart "rules" that exist because nothing else works from those that are just inertia is difficult.

Experience with environmental testing is everywhere. >When Tesla performed the tests, the electronics ended up working just fine. Tesla's environmental testing just failed. Doesn't necessarily indicate good things about the longevity of a new Tesla.
