I find myself on the horns of a dilemma, and I'd appreciate some input.

I am being pressed to support something which is essentially the "right thing to do" but I know is motivated by the wrong reasons.

I tend to put a lot of store in the underlying motivation behind any proposal, and not simply judge it on its superficial benefits. This is because I believe it is the motive that tends to shape the project more than the advertised benefits pushed forward to get buy in.

Anyone got any gems of wisdom to share?
