...such as a person much higher up in the organization giving you a direct "urgent" order. It shouldn't be hard to find corporate employees who really fear their superiors.

Then it's the fault of those superiors for setting up a culture of fear and mindless subservience, instead of one of strong rules even they themselves are expected to follow.

Cryptography without strong social rules is just cargo-cult religion.

A culture of fear and mindless subservience has strong social rules. Would it work there?

Fear culture eats security for lunch. Good points.
