I agree that my version is horribly ugly :). However, if you are not going to Follow a Plan, and while you're at it, you are attempting to Eliminate Waste as per the lean thinking movement, one may quickly follow with the conclusion that plans that are not followed are wasteful, and therefore unnecessary. My experience has shown me that this is the interpretation people very often make. YMMV as always, though.
