Why is it...

When you're a more senior engineer and someone asks for advise. You give it to them and then they ask a less senior engineer and goes with his solution of installing an older buggy version so he doesn't have to speak with the client on upgrading a piece of software???

Oh yea, the upgrade was $180 and fixes a ton of bugs... Now I'm going back to the client to tell him, yeah you see this 180$ upgrade would have prevented the problem that I just fixed and billed you $185 and the $180 upgrade, plus the previous engineer's time.

Yea, that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy...
