Most of the stupid people don't, actually.  That's the funny thing  
that surprises me -- just how obviously lame the justifications are,  
and how they are unable even with direct statements about how to  
justify the IP space to do so.  My god, it's really not hard to build  
a valid justification for more space than you need -- seriously.  But  
these people just can't pull it off.

Likewise, every company with whom I've had to debate the topic has  
failed within 18 months, so the problem pervades the organization ;-)
