To be fair, this bias for "correctness" is both logical and necessary, and not something that stems from inability or unwillingness to understand business goals.

That tech debt you took on to meet the latest oh-so-important deadline? Prepare to live with it forever, because the next hare-brained initiative is right around the corner.

Frankly, the business's goals are not my goals, and unless I own the place, I'm not sacrificing good work for it.
