That's a great thought, except that the actual reasons why aren't terribly important to them. It's just that it's different, and anything different is "bad," in the sense that if it makes them think twice about something, it's more work for them, thus more work for me. Don't get me wrong, my boss/cow orkers/etc. aren't morons, I would just like to avoid gratuitous differences for their own sake.
