Never underestimate the value of an Industry Veteran saying something like "We had to do SOMETHING for that.. so that's what we did!" as a way of showing others that sometimes you do things because you just do. There doesn't always have to be an intricate Rules narrative behind every single decision that is made. Priceless Advice.
