I can't count how many times I have seen someone effectively say "My thing is better than your/that thing" but they have not actually researched what the other thing is or how it works, they just simply like their own thing so much that they automatically assume it's better or this case different.
- Spearchucker 6y agoOften in corporate environments people are asked to justify a choice of technology, and an approach to a problem. It is quite natural for the people making the decision to choose technology they're most familiar and comfortable with, and positioning it in a favorable light. I imagine this is what happened here. The actual merit of the competing technology is simply not part of the evaluation. This is at least a step up from government procurement processes where the procurement officer, who has zero technical knowledge, procures based on a checklist he or she is unable to correctly assess bidder responses to, and of course price.
