In what country? :)

    is, there are times when you need to err on the side of honesty, rather 
    than out of any perceptions of politeness.
  
Can you please provide an example where it was necessary to "move fast and break norms" (sic), and taking the time to be polite would have made a difference? In my experience, the IETF doesn't work at the speed that requires the former, but maybe I'm wrong.
