1. These Improvements won't do any good! .
2. It sounds like a good thing, but we still don't want to do it.
3. Looks good on paper but....
4. Cost are already as low as that can possibly get! 
5. But we've already been doing things that way!
6. We don't want people looking over our shoulders and telling us what to do! 
7. We can't lower costs any more without lowering quality! 
8. Why change - Everything is going just fine now. Why change it! 
9. Bad Idea - That's a lousy idea! We already tried that 20 years ago! 
10. Look, we understand this stuff better than anybody (so don't tell us what to do)
