Nah, that's poor decisionmaking. That macro probably has a bunch of bugs in it and has been giving wrong results for years, but they'd rather cargo-cult something where they don't understand the bugs than risk having bugs that they do understand. Watch for them to be the next Post Office/Fujitsu in 10 or 20 years' time when someone finally pulls on the thread of some issues they're seeing.
