Yes Because, in this case, the buck stops with him All deadlines are "artificial" and some have a lot of $$$ attached to them (due to regulatory/market/customer/supplier issues) But I know, a blame culture begets a CYA culture, which begets the opposite of "help me help you" (hence why such a parameter is hardcoded in the code - the issue here is not stopping the ~~orphan~~ developer crushing machine but why does it exist in the first place)
