Exactly. You need a paper trail so you can properly tell them to get off of your nuts.

Depends if its a part of the role where I am struggling might as well try it, other than that most likely not

If you explain why you don't believe it will work and approach it with a solution as opposed to just shutting the idea down you can come to something rather easily

To me I would to stick what I believe in, however if a penalty is involved for not sticking to his request,I would just share my feedback about it in this case and explain why and how it wouldn't work,that would help in lifting up any liability for any possible failure that may happen and your smarty manager here would have a full responsibility for his wrong decisions!!!

I’d give them my opinion, and if they still want me to do it (and it’s not unethical or illegal) then I’ll do it.

You have to do both. Show him where it didn’t work and how your approach does. That’s the only way.
If you go your way, and it works, his way would have been faster/better.

Yes, and when it doesn't work make sure your boss knows it was *their* idea.
