Very true. Of course some of that is a result of pressure on all
concerned to get the task done right the first time, as quickly and
efficiently as possible. Those goals are not closely aligned with
innovation, and it is much safer in the business world to stick with
what is tried and true. It takes a lot of the fun out of it. :-)
