It’s not so much arguing against the rules. It’s following them to the letter when unnecessary.
It doesn’t matter that the big boss has said that purchasing a $5 knick-knack is ok. You will have that purchase go through the full procurement process, even up to and including an exhaustive search for (cheaper) alternatives.
I also love to unilaterally determine what is and isn’t necessary.
Are you suggesting that’s a valuable use of time?
I make decisions about such tradeoffs every day.
I’m suggesting that a $5 purchase abs a critical government agency’s infosec are different considerations.
