BrowserUk, although you seem to have taken my Luddite-crous statement in stride, I apologize. I would not have described your idea as ludricrous, so I should not have done so by word play.

In my circles, PHB is disparaging in the extreme; I didn't consider that you might give it a much lighter meaning.

A consortium of underlings may conspire and through insubordination save a project from a mandate of some stupid practice, but that just helps to prove the mandate worthwhile.

In the above, worthwhile was not meant in a moral sense. The project's plans and documents will seem to show that the mandate was followed, so the mandate is associated, officially, with the success.

Your example of a coup seems inapplicable, in the settings I'm considering, the crew is conspiring to save the mission and may inadvertently bring honor to their leader.

I recommend Perl::Critic to you, it is a good tool; customizing the settings is not especially arduous. It would be good that people like yourself be early adopters because you will effect what does become the default set-up that will be thoughtlessly adopted by some.

Be well,
rir
