> If you want, Nature/laws of physics eats politics for breakfast :)

It would be that politics eats tech, but culture eats politics.

And strengthening your PoCs is a predictable cultural consequence of any organisation where leadership forces PoCs in production.

For leadership to align incentives is to prevent engineers from suffering the consequences of PoCs pushed to production. What you described may work in some situations.

> A certain amount of back and forth is healthy and can produce much better outcomes for the company.

The reaction I described is a kind of back and forth, if a bit conflictual. However, it's leadership's responsibility to ensure that communication happens in a non-conflictual way.
