The best cheerleaders get promoted, not the ones that say things like "hey, I see some problems; let's think this thing through more fully".
Once in a quarter of a century I actually had a project manager call me back, a year or so "after" and say "you were right"; there were quite a few more that shoulda. While not good for promotions, poor design decisions always made more $ for our company. Go figure.
But the worst sin is being right about poor decisions made by others.
