True, but if you generalize to managers in corporations you get some interesting insight, which is to my surprise doesn't seem to be known or practiced by some managers. Some managers in large corporations where many different project ideas and proposals compete, are in the mindset of "the good ideas will eventually win over the other ones". Experience (mine at least) have proven time and time again otherwise, the truth is more like the squeaky wheel gets gets the grease: i.e. people who aggressively push their ideas and use political maneuvering almost always (i) have their project funded and (ii) get promoted.
