In firms where marketing has lots of power, they may indeed well decide to pursue those "10 millions" by demanding an expenditure of effort that's totally out of proportion (to the detriment of the other "190 millions", of course, since there IS a finite amount of development resources to allocate). Maybe that's part of the explanation for the outstanding success of some enterprises founded by engineers, led by engineers, and staffed overwhelmingly with engineers, competing with other firms where marketing wield power...?
