No of course not. It is an encouraging statement which comes from experience. People (and past me included) tend to _underestimate_ their managing superiors, business owners, big clients and so on and think they will not respect a push for improvement, but I found that the opposite is true just as often. It's often a win/win whether you fail or succeed.
