You know what's worse?
When the bad guy asks the scientist how long it's going to take to do what he needs done. The scientist tells him, just for example, 2 hours. Then the bad guy says "You have 1."
What if the scientist had said "4 hours". Is he going to expect the scientist to do it in 2 hours, or is he going to give him 1 hour to do something that normally takes 4 hours. If your plan absolutely requires something, maybe you shouldn't wait until the last minute to get it done. What if he said "8 hours". Or "16" would he have just shot scientists until someone was like "I can do it in 2 hours!"

"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
