It's a cover-my-butt clause. The focus isn't on the success of the program, outcome or even the company, it's on making sure individuals are not accountable for anything that might possibly go wrong. Show some confidence in yourself and your work! When you offer good, well-thought-out ideas and put your best effort and energy into them, a good manager and a good company will not penalize you if things don't pan out quite like everyone hoped they would. If you are working for people who don't know the difference between good work and work that is shrouded in no-fault pre-qualifiers, well then, you have bigger issues to deal with than semantics.
