There's one school of thought that holds that management's ranks are composed of individuals who couldn't cut it doing the actual work, and that resentment towards those who can cut it plays a greater role in policy making than any actual concern for safety. I'll leave it up to everybody to judge the validity of that for themselves.
That school of thought is not unlike believing in the Tooth Fairy or Easter Bunny. Controllers, as a group, live in a world that is tilted a tad off vertical.
