The weird danger of making prototypes are managers who think having a prototype means you're almost done with the whole task.
This is especially bad when the prototype works, but doesn't work well. They think you just need to polish things up a bit when really, you need to take what you've learned and build the real deliverable.

Unfortunately a common feature of many companies these days is non-technical management managing technical staff, and in such cases it's indeed a dangerous proposition. Another example perhaps as to how the software engineering field still has significant maturing to do vs. e.g. mechanical engineering.
