My section head would have roasted me had I found out that I knew he
was making a mistake and didn't speak up. Part of respect is honesty,
and he wouldn't have tolerated holding back critical information for
the sake of politeness.
Which is not to say that I sassed him; I wouldn't have done so even
had I been able to get away with it. I was there on TDY and wanted to
stay as long as I could; he was a good man to work for.
