> I'm not sure what the unintended consequences are but I believe this is the right move. I don't know how that works. If you don't know the effects, how can you know it is a good action? Knee jerk actions tend to poorer results than well planned ones.

That works because almost all decisions are made without 100% certainty. "I'm not sure ... but I believe" is simply a statement of the obvious that everyone makes decisions with incomplete information. Characterizing decisions made with incomplete information as "knee jerk" reactions is a bit much. That isn't to say that a certain amount of effort should be made to understand the consequences of any decision.
