If I was made "responsible" for this something like this I

And this research and coding would be done in your copious

There's also this: If the original code fails, you have to
fix it. If it fails after you change *anything*, you'll
also get blamed for the failure.
I'm not saying that changing the code is wrong. I am
saying there are valid reasons to leave running code alone.
