concorde or sunk cost fallacy...
is an issue that occurs...
quite often in projects.

and the other one is...
loss aversion.
they explain why people...
cant let go...
and pass the point of no return.
previous investments are...
used as a rationale...
for continuing a dead end project...
which can result in total loss.
so remember well...
there may come...
the moment to...
pull the emergency brake and...
let go.
