I've had good role models here.
A non-war example of "AC".
I know this good Arab engineer, nice guy well meaning and so on. Anyway once on a project (not mine) the builder decided to substitute a different kind of joist without telling or asking anyone and eventually the owner fired him for a host of reasons. The architect tried to help out the owner and new general contractor to get the project back on track, but the engineer no longer wanted anything to do with the project and would not even return phone calls. He was afraid to take on any additional liability from undocumented changes, and did not feel he could "catch everything".
Now, I can see the engineers point, but I also know about following through and "braving it" especially if someone is willing to pay for the services.
This is not an isolated incident, I grew up with Arabs, all tough guys until evenly matched or out matched. And always willing to pounce on a weakness or stab you from behind and kick you when your are down, and I don’t mean this in a figurative way either.
