Great job taking the comment entirely out of context.
I read and understood the full context. I was keeping it short for the sake of simplicity.
The basic message they're conveying is, after all: "If you have disagreements, don't express them."
It is extremely rare that decisions are "objectively" bad -- that was the main point of that section.
I was referring not to the decisions, but to the assertions about reality that are used to justify them.
