I'd go so far as to suggest, entirely with my list-member hat clamped firmly on my head, that such suggestions are best left unmade in some circumstances, such as this one. It could be argued that if this were true it might be because it would promote increased myopia, aka focus on the immediately relevant for survival at the expense of the wider perspective or greawater good etc. I'm not saying that myself - I'm self employed and consider myself to be (too?) highly focused on the greater good, but if such an argument were mooted, or if the suggestion was found distasteful, or if a counter proposal was made, one could hardly be surprised.
