we just have that discussion on the singapure lug list.
someone there turned some program down as not making any business sense.

one of my arguments then made is the idea of taking a risk in order to
gain something. ie it is easy to keep on going without taking any risks,
but if you want to come out ahead you have to take some risks.

maybe you can expand on that idea for a good argument...
