I've had problems in the past whereby people have said 'yes' to do you understand. Or have noticed problems with an approach, or seen better approaches but decided that challenging authority, or admitting you don't know something to someone in authority is perceived as some kind of weakness.

Once aware of both these scenarios I found them easy to work around but nonetheless it was a shock the first time.
