Mainly used for the fact that appearances have to make sense sometimes. It is important to not judge by appearances but even then there are some times where the good guy actually needs to look like a good guy, and the bad guy needs to look like a bad guy.

Known to some people as 'business as usual', however this naming is factually incorrect, as it is only a product of an unspoken consensus so that workers have an exit route explanation available for their lazy-ass days during daily stand-ups.
