I didn't say "all" or even "most". You were the one making absolute categorical statements. Some managers are unreasonable, and will not change their minds about what they've decided because of the arguments, no matter how rational and well-expressed, of people beneath them. Declaring categorically that any engineer who cannot persuade their manager not to do something bloody stupid is a bad engineer is insulting to engineers who are, in fact, in exactly that situation, and is, from where I sit, part of a very large category of mistake where someone tries to avoid having to apply human judgement and critical thinking by making a hard and fast rule about things that are much more nuanced and fuzzy.
