> Most engineers are honest to a fault
This is not something I'd bet millions of my own or investor's money on. The sooner engineers realize this – that their honesty simply isn't germane to the discussion at hand – the sooner this endless argument ends.

The sooner business people realise that honesty matters and deceit is deceit no matter how much sophistry you surround it with, the sooner the argument ends. There are plenty of grown-up businesspeople who get this.
