Pencil-Whipping
Pencil-Whipping : Making a logically and ethically unacceptable fire protection situation, such as combustible fire barriers, absence of bounding, etc. , appear acceptable through large amounts of technical justifications (excuses), which don't hold water in reality, but seem weighty to the novice who would not read and disseminate such (pencil-whipping) verbiage in its entirety. Usually, pencil-whipping is far more expensive (though perhaps more immediately embarrassing) than actually fixing the problem - even in the short term
