Committing the Truth
I call what you mention "Committing the Truth". Often, when you do this you become the pariah and are labeled "not a team player". As a consultant, I don't have to worry about that. Honesty is, in the long run, the best policy after all.
Oh, and I loved your "Adventure" references. You're really showing your age! I will now disappear in a puff of greasy black smoke! :-D
