Some CS are really sharp and some may be sharp but not allowed free rein.
Some years ago a CS in Harrogate rang me up at ISK and mentioned that a particular stores item (one that went bang) had had nil consumption in the past year or more. She had a standing order did I wish her to place the order or suspend it?
She had bypassed her CoC, Strike Command and 18 Gp and rung me up, a lowly flt lt in wg weapons. I investgated, found out why there was nil consumption and duly cancelled the purchase.
Now had her initiative been stifled then shedloads of money would have been wasted.
