Look up “not invented here” syndrome (NIH)


This is a great answer too, seriously. I think it's good to be aware of or on guard against this kind of stuff.

I don't think that captures all the reasons but it definitely could be a factor.

I wonder what psychological attitudes you need to embody to embrace NIH and give it fair treatment in decisions?
