This is gold. It reflects too many real engineering projects so well. Sometimes I'm the guy to point this out, but too often I catch myself arguing for adding unnecessary complexity (unfortunately usually in hindsight).
There should always be one engineer playing devil's advocate and at least try arguing why a new system/service isn't necessary.
