I have an informational site mostly aimed at engineers, and in the "tech writing for engineers" section, it says (sort of tongue-in-cheek): " In the event of conflicting information between this web site and your boss, you should probably agree with whoever is paying you more. It is OK to be wrong, so long as you know you are wrong, you are consistently wrong, and you are getting paid to be wrong. " I would add that for me as a consultant, the client is paying for my expertise so it is important that I express my opinion, and I usually do it in writing. If the client or boss chooses to ignore it, well, that's out of my control. Interesting discussions this week!
