You make it sound derogatory, but counting the figurative beans is part of their job description, and someone has to do it. I've had the misfortune of working in places where no one is willing and able to count the beans, and I promise you that didn't go too well. As with most everything, the difficulty in making an org run well seems to be in finding (and keeping) that fleeting balance between vision and bean counting.
