I don't know this specific example but I've been in many C-level discussions where similar things happen. There is rarely a belief that it will be temporary. There is usually a lot of confidence (even if misguided) that there will be sufficient follow through to quickly justify the addition. In my experience people over-attribute to malice or cynicism what is usually just crossing the very thin line between entrepreneurial confidence and self-delusion.
