This is the difference between an I.T professional and an I.T professional with business sense, it is indeed more important to consider the consequences of if it goes wrong over the *if* it happens.
I appreciate many think its not an I.T professional's place to have honed business sense about them, but experience teaches me the last place you can trust to exercise business sense is the management :)
It's like the higher up the pole you go the more incompetent the people you find.
