Yet, in reality politics exists, and you can't just blind yourself thinking it doesn't exists (extensive studies of failures in software and hardware have shown that often the causes have a political root or part of a political root). Often, even when it's not the best technically-wise solution, a "political solution" may be good enough, and better than the less realistic alternatives that try just to ignore that politics exists :-) The solution is often to become better in politics, not to ignore it :-)
