Yes and no.
The ability to find developers and assign blame also plays into that
equation.
If you choose the non-mainstream decision, when the project blows up
(and the probability is that it will), you and your decisions will take
all the heat.
It doesn't matter that you got 3 times as far as you would have
otherwise. The project blew up; you made those non-mainstream
decisions; you are at fault.
You people talk like corporate decision making is about choosing
correctly. It is not. It is about avoiding blame.
