Damn, I wish I thought of that!

Sometimes, in the case of interacting with peers and colleagues, it may indeed be worth expending 100 units of your energy to flush 10 units of bullshit down the terlit.

Attempting to refute 100 units of management BS with 1000 units of your personal energy is downright suicidal.
