No one has to see the boring stuff, where Scotty spends the next two weeks AFTER the emergency rewiring things to work right again, or the month they spend in dry-dock replacing burnt out parts. I can only image how the C-suite would feel if they were told they have to stop development on the project for six months to perform all the fixes and maintenance their demands for heroics cost them.

True, which is why usually rewrites are a bad idea if we're talking about a project with a team and a schedule. Either way I think Star Trek shows starship captains actually listen to their senior staff, which makes sense in any environment.
