Heck, I'll give you some case histories to show how it happens ;-)

I worked for a company where I was very close to both the customers, as 
in customer support, and very close to the Big Bosses [ sorry, no more
details, we get netnews at work ].  It was my job to get the customers
off of the boss's back as fast as possible.  Which frequently meant
finding a very fast workaround which might have only had a life
expectancy of three or four days.
