On a similar note. Suppose a town has gone years without a fire and is planning to massively cut the fire departments budget. The fire chief believes this is a very bad idea and will eventually lead to a deadly disaster. Should the fire chief secretly set a fire in a way that does not endanger any people but causes enough damage to make the point?

IT department installs a button that must be pressed every day. Poison pill that shuts down the servers if they take a day off to prove a point.

When things are working, they should be invisible. But how do you measure how many resources they require to keep things working? Hard problem.
