Ah, so another of Mnessie's mysteries is solved. It isn't that you are only half-following my responses, it is more that you read them and then you go off on a tangent thinking about it :P However, I suppose you should be aware that in doing so, you might confuse your listeners, because it comes across as if you were only half-listening to others.
More than the sum of its parts? Maybe for the lesser engineers and aesthetics...humans are beyond arrogant.
You know, this in itself could be an interesting topic. I am not sure how you can apply this phrase to life (those that do), but I know it applies to the culinary arts. The taste of a meal is much more than simply the addition of the individual tastes xP
Beings sensible can still be weak and less rewarding for growth and development. ...Provided it is a short term problem that couldn't be solved using the optimal reward solution then I can understand the reasoning behind it. But still it is never to be desired to use anything other than the optimal reward function for any problem.
That's all fine and good, but...but... (assuming all your following argument is still you using a counter example against my explanation on why people might not make a decision and not just you musing things on a tangent), what makes you so certain the you can choose the optimal solution?
In brief: I argue that humbleness is a good thing and it does not precludes wisdom or learning.
I can see that there might be a point where letting others decide can be seeing as cowardly or running away from the situation. But my example was not going for those cases, it was more a case of humbleness. Picking the best solution will sometimes involve acknowledging that other people might be able to make a more informed decision than we can.
As for letting others make a decision stumping our personal growth, wouldn't that be the case only if we refuse to pay attention and learn from the decisions of others? There is wisdom in knowing when to step down from the helm, there's wisdom in learning from others. Of course, somehow, I don't think you are addressing humbleness at all with your musings.
However that is no reason to accept an imperfect answer as the correct answer once it has been made. Not even under the wings of "I did the best I could given the circumstances!"
I was going to argue here, but I then realized you have successfully argued with yourself, so there's really nothing left to add.

Thanks for the explanation, that cleared things up. I am still trying to figure out what Mnessie's question was about, though. Well, he's going to think about it. So let's wait and see.
