The problem in my opinion rather is that in other parts of the software project, there is much more openness with respect to - trying out new things in new ways - making the code more elegant - seeking abstractions - ... than in the business logic area. Believe me: for the kind of business logic that I see at work, I could immediately see ways in which the (non-trivial) business logic could be made much more elegant by using clever mathematical ideas, but suggesting such ideas to other colleagues or the bosses is like talking to a brick wall.
