Question: Why is decision-making assumed to add value or to be sensible !?
"Collins Class Submarine Story: Steel, Spies and Spin" got me thinking about it!.
Found a website

A report there says that
<<In August 1991, because of the combat system schedule slippage, the contract was amended to provide a two-stage delivery!. This was to allow submarine platform trials to proceed in advance of a fully compliant combat system being available!.>>

Decisions like this just seem to be assumed to add value as opposed to destroying a project!.

<< In my opinion, no decision is ever sensible!.To paraphrase the ideas of Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and similar thinkers, every decision we make is tailored to the deciders wants and desires, even when a comparative chart is formed!. For every reason in support of something one can always find a equally valid reason against!. It is only when ones emotions have decided that one can no longer think of contrary points!.>>

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I know nothing about the Collins Class Submarine Story!. What I do know is this: it's been my experience that decision-making does indeed add value, and is certainly sensible, because it's a mark of maturity in day-to-day life!. Our decisions are indeed based on our own wants and/or desires!. So what!? It's the way God made us!. That's not a bad thing unless we become selfish and arrogant and make decisions that will have an unfavorable impact upon those around us!. If we make decisions based on love and respect, even though those decisions are based on our own wants/desires, it can be a wonderful thing still!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
