Anybody not in the politburo of PHBs could have told you that.
To oversimplify: the assignment is to carve ice sculptures with fine detail but INSIST on a military flamethrower (AI gen spaghetti) for the job.
The morale knock-on effects of:
A) giving the conscientious, invested ones fits when it doesn't do the job
B) insisting to all who will listen that the skilled flamethrower operator will replace the sculptors who spent a lot of time and money learning how to carve ice.
I suppose are to weed out any potential competent leadership candidates and preserve that illusion most middle management "adds value?"
