People (with some experience) who work together "just know", but sadly,
managers too often are from the clueless ranks. Makes them susceptible
to smoke and mirror mischief perpetrated by the less-than-honest
developers and project managers. I've never worked in a big development
environment, but I guess it could get really bad when not everybody
knows everybody else.
