What I'm saying is that you need to put together a VERY robust argument in this circumstance --- whoever you decide to make a case to. Do it a few times, for real, and you learn how to put together a logical and objective argument that (even with imperfections) stands on its merits. The next step is then presenting it ..... which is where communication and diplomacy skills come in. Communication and diplomacy skills can patch holes in a weak argument (all too often, unfortunately), but a solid argument is much easier to get across.
