    the blank refusal to see that there might even be an alternative is very interesting
    even an alternative that he can suggest and control (that's the point here)
    Staring into the mind of a cretin for logical answers is folly.

    Then when it all falls over and they ask for help, you tell them you already warned the weener, then say how long it will take to fix. And keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep invoicing.

    Or were you asking how to cure the fellow? If so, I suggest a full frontal lobe labotamy.

    As I am bored, I thought I would think about this strange fellow I am having to deal with.
    He is a control freak, in contact with the customers, has the ear of the MD.
    So when a change request comes in, being a control freak, he takes charge, formulates a plan, then issues detailed instructions.
    Problem is when his overall plan is shown to be badly flawed. He wont revisit, then take control. He refuses to revisit at all.

    He will never , ever , rethink what he says on day 1. totally rigid and inflexible.
