Brad, with your observation, "In TRW...", you've dropped a daisy cutter
right in front of the entrance to the cave.  "Success has a thousand
fathers..."

I agree, but I believe the original poster said his
management wanted to use it.  If he said he was trying to
convince them to use it then you would be correct.

I would hope every organization would weight the options and
information with management.  If not, every move you make on
your own is a career gamble.  I was just stating that in
this case, it didn't appear to be that way.

Which brings up another point.  Most companies today have
creeds or mission statements.  Every one I've seen mentions
something about shared responsibility.  Unfortunatly, in TRW
this mainly applies to successes, and not failures.
