Poor management will find a stick to beat you with whatever you do.

That's part of my point.

I'm assuming you don't disagree that this "lighting a fuse" approach on something you're unsure about without manager approval (and you think you need their permission -- which is said in the article) is way riskier for your corporate career. You're just taking asymmetric risk.

That's the main point.
