I've been working for far too freaking long, so I've had a series of pointy haired bosses (referencing Dilbert here). I once had a boss that really fought for the technical reasons every time, exhausing upper management until they gave in. Years later, socially chatting with one of the upper managers from that company, which I'd long left, about that manager and how much his team loved him. The manager's response was "that was the last on-spectrum manager we hired. never again!" and my opinion dimmed.
