If I were cynical, I'd think that the inscrutable code and resultant security issues were a feature desired by those management and finance types, not a bug. The purpose of a system being what it does, and all.

Seems plenty of the people occur multiple times, so there's more engineers... if only barely :|

If you value somebody so much you show them multiple times, I'm going to assume they're outsized weight in terms of influence and cost, too.
