Thanks for the insight! As for communicating the issue to administration I feel that putting things in terms of costs in dollars, even if the approach is as arbitrary as any other form of internal accounting, can help make the case. Management is as susceptible to the marketing of panaceas as much as engineers! They must be informed of a more true cost.
