You usually get what you want. When you don't, of course
it's because it's difficult. Then you notice that it is difficult
and comment on it.

I'm guessing because I don't yet have any direct impiricle evedence.
I'd say though, the company must be very important. To get the
ball rolling, there must be a critcal mass of non-cynical, non-sarcastic
people who treat a spade a spade. children new to the system must
be wary that the system is going to cheat them.
