How much of this is some kind of unsaid but held belief that 'I'm only as good as my own ideas' and then fighting for them? I wonder this all the time when it comes to vocations and professions where that seems to matter more.
Just asking from the Helpdesk Jockey position where nobody tells us we're per se wrong all the time, but nobody is also telling us we were right but the break/fix being resolved, lol.
