'Haven't studied abnormal organizational psychology,
have you? This is only a blip in the collective
irrationalities rampant around us. Those $10,000 and
$1000 might be decoupled from the decision-makers
managing software development. Moreover, someone in
the system might be aware that the total cost of the
PC should be amortized as around $10,000, once all
management overhead is properly accounted.
That's only the beginning.
