       Boss:  I'm negotiating a deal with the government of Elbonia.  They
       agreed to buy a thousand dollars of our products.  All I had to do was
       agree to let them steal all of our intellectual property.  Dilbert: 
       Wouldn't it be better for us if they didn't steal our I.P.?  Boss: 
       You have to look at the big picture.  They also agreed to stop killing
       tens of thousands of our citizens with their illegal drug shipments. 
       Dilbert:  Did they stop?  Boss:  No, but they said they would. 
       Dilbert:  Maybe you should negotiate harder.  Boss:  And risk losing a
       thousand dollars of revenue?
