For example my boss has worked in our industry, and only our industry for 40 some years. He has very clear cut ideas about what it the "right" way to do things because he has immense experience in the field.
And he is often quite wrong.
Mainly because he has no experience in sales OUTSIDE of our industry which I and my other boss both have.
Should we not offer changes or suggestions because he is an "expert"?
I don't think so.
Every time we do a safety walk though I try to take a new person with us because new eyes see new things.
Unfortunately no one ever wants to be told they are wrong these days so they resist any outside information that may suggest that.
Even if they are right in the end they fight the challenge just in case.
What do you or I know about how the human mind reacts when you are in a life or death situation? I'd concede to experts in psychology, but no you and I should not have a say in "shoot/ don't shoot" situations. Like I said, there are few places in life I take this stance as I am familiar with situations like you posted, but this is a whole different world. You can talk about what you should do, but until your faced with the possibility of "you or them" then you really can't act like you know what you'd do.
