I agree with you. And I will add that I often find myself having a view that's more informed or beneficial to the situation, but I miss the tools to express it, leaving me stuck with my own silent disagreement in a less-than-optimal situation. The challenge is, then, to voice my opinion in a convincing manner.
To avoid misunderstanding, this is not about who wins an argument. After I offer my view and the other party accepts it as superior, I wouldn't mind someone else further challenging it.
It's about creating a process where the we keep improving together and respect each other along the way.
