Heh, was just on a call after a big failure of a project, one where 75% of the people on the call had told the project manager exactly what was going to go wrong if they kept going the way it was going and needed to change in a way inconvenient to the project managers world view. Folks repeatedly and loudly got dismissed by the project manager.
Now as they are discussing what went wrong when exactly the thing everyone said would go wrong did, the project manager said "no one could have predicted it going this way".
The real kicker was the right way to do it wouldn't have cost any time or money, it just was a somewhat different than the project manager's imagination (who did not have any actual experience doing the work, but still thought he knew better than the seasoned profesionals because of what he had been reading).
