Then no high-level decisions would get made. Any technical argument that spans beyond one person would be at risk of running into an eternal stalemate. No strategic choices would be undertaken.

(Tone indicator: Not a value judgment. I'm not saying that all managers are particularly good at this, same as how observing that "builders build things" does not mean that the builders are necessarily good at building.)

I feel like "making choices" and "making decisions" isn't really a full time job. Maybe just see what a group of seniorish people think?

I don't sort of "hate managers" or anything. Just curious about why businesses always seem to think they have to have them.
