I wasn't questioning who is responsible for what or whether it is
advisable to publish nonsense. Rather, I was questioning the management
style.

As a manager, I'm responsible for the quality of the work of people
who report to me. We're not going to distribute patently inappropriate
nonsense such as "pish posh Romana" except in response to a written
request from some fool with the authority to insist, and I'm going to
cover my department's ass so the fool takes the blame.
