Phil, In some cases your advice is dead on.

Working from within to salvage a salvageable situation is sometimes the right thing to do.

Other times, staying hitched to a failure is exactly the wrong thing to do.

Each case is different.

Sometimes life is too short, and throwing good money after bad is just foolish.

Sometimes being part of a turnaround is the most satisfying and rewarding thing a person will do in their life.

Etc (Every reader can insert their own favorite motivational slogan here).
