I'll agree to that. I mean I'll hold my hand up today, to clicking the "accept" on that meeting invites and attending - but not having an f'in clue how to solve the problem, so keep quiet. The immediate 'bad justification' is that if I didn't attend, I might get labelled as the problem. The 'more rational' justification is that by attending and listening I get a better understanding, and by meeting #2 and #3 hope I can contribute constructively. I know I'm definitely not going to be able to help by dodging the discussion. Now there are exceptions - if I think others are better able and willing to solve an important issue, or I think the issue is ultimately unimportant - but that's high risk. Like saying I don't need school, so I won't go.
