 {{drop|“T|his is all}} very well, JC, but ''come on''. What hope have I, a mere [[subject matter expert]], of influencing an organisation’s sacred forms? Hell will surely first freeze over.”
-It is only a truism that {{shitmaxim|nothing is more immutable than policy}} if ''no-one ever challenges it''. And who better to challenge it than she who suffers under its yoke?
+It is only a truism that {{shitmaxim|nothing is more immutable than policy}} if — ''because'' — ''no-one ever challenges it''. But who should bell the cat? Who better than she who must suffer under its yoke?
-Pray, forgive JCs’ rabble-rousing, but is not that lusty challenge the very thing your experience offers? Is not that your very superpower? The rush of healing air that the wounds and scars of a long history of misadventure — which, above all, informs said “immutable policy” — cannot withstand? And if not, why not? What does that then say about your life’s work? That you are but a painted ship upon a painted ocean?
+Pray, forgive JCs’ mixed-metaphor rabble-rousing but is not that lusty challenge the very thing your experience offers? Is not this your calling? Your destiny? Your very superpower? Within your power, if only you would offer it, lies the fresh air to heal the wounds and scars of historical misadventure to which those templates bear witness? And if not, why not? What does that then say about your life’s work? That you are but a painted ship upon a painted ocean?
-We hope this is mere rhetorical conjecture.So try it! Go on! What have you got to lose? You might be surprised at what you can achieve.
+We hope this is mere rhetorical conjecture. But try it! Go on! What have you got to lose? Did anyone get fired for asking good questions? (If so — what are you doing working at such an organisation?)
-Of course, your counterparty’s negotiators are no less institutionalised. Having, by and large, been forged in the same private practice sweatshops (or [[Proverbial school-leaver from Bucharest|Bulgarian call centres]]) they too have expectations of a certain form and they fear, as much as you do, stepping away from it. Time for some bracing pep talk from Mr Nieztsche:
+Of course, having been forged in the same sweatshops, your counterparty’s negotiators will be no less institutionalised. They too will have expectations of a certain form. They too will fear, as much as you do, stepping away from What Is Written, for following which they cannot be blamed.
+Arise, [[subject matter expert]]s! Slip your surly bonds! A word from Mr [[Nietzsche]]:
 {{quote|
 “For believe me! — the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment is: to ''live dangerously''! Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius! Send your ships into uncharted seas! Live at war with your peers and yourselves! Be robbers and conquerors as long as you cannot be rulers and possessors, you seekers of knowledge! Soon the age will be past when you could be content to live hidden in forests like shy deer!”}}
-JC’s anecdotal evidence is that suspicion quickly gives way to ''relief''. If you get your design right — this is a big if: from the cradle, lawyers are bathed nightly in [[legalese]] and can scarcely live without it — your counterparts will quickly see its wisdom. Negotiators have enough time thrashing through everyone else’s ghastly forms and will be glad if the relief offered by an easy one.

-====“Change is disruptive and risky”====
-No-one likes change for change’s sake.
