Yup, control counts a lot! Working at IBM just our of college, someone several levels up was getting a promotion for discovering an interesting loophole. Apparently, he'd discovered a way that four people could collaborate to exfiltrate just under $25 million (several decades ago) on Friday, and could be out of the country by Monday before it was noticed. The controls were previously good enough that it would take no less than 4 people cooperating. Obviously, he reported it, and this was good for a skip-level promotion.
