So you are saying that if anybody does anything at all, if there has been initial input by someone else than your work means nothing? Excuse me if I say BS! Lets take a real world example. I do warranty analysis for the people who make the NYC subway cars. The warranty team's job is to keep the trains running during the warranty period. Subway trains are incredibly complex pieces of machinery, software, and firmware with all kinds of systemic interlocks, communication and controllers. Some of our techs are absolutely brilliant diagnosticians who can get to the root of a difficult problem and determine how to fix it. If I tell one of these guy to fix the train, and he does, are you going to try to tell me that since I asked him to fix it that the repair isn't his but mine? And the credit goes to me? You gotta be kidding right?
Or take another example from my experience. I used to be a professional musician. Was in several small bands generally either quintets or sextets. Say someone hires us for a gig, small concert hall seating maybe 2000. It's a bad night, one guy has a bad cold, lead singer had a big fight with her boyfriend, the bass player wants to quit. We play terrible. But according to you our bad music would be the fault of the music director of the hall! Simply because he asked us to play there. I'm sorry but that idea is just plain nuts. I am responsible for my actions, my successes and my failures not someone else. And I be willing to bet that you'd scream bloody murder if some AS tried to take credit of something she asked someone else to do.
