You missed his point. He was just saying projects don't start with this intention. He agreed that projects can definitely morph into this. You have to be a pretty weak exec if you can't find projects to kill this way and have to create them from scratch.

I will agree a lot of projects are created with the thought "sure, why not gamble on this.. if it doesn't work, we can just dump our people."

I guess it's a pretty fine line.

I don't believe I did. Whether the vehicle is a new project or an old one makes no difference. The destination is the same. I gave a fairly specific example, not a general rule.
