This point of view assumes any decision can be scientifically determined as optimal. In reality most large-scale decisions are tradeoffs, you pull from one side and another starts to crumble. Recent example: you introduce lockdowns and reorient hospital care towards COVID, and more people start dying from cancer due to missed checkups. Such decisions are value-driven, and cannot be replaced by an algorithm. That’s what we have politics for. The main difference is that business organizations tend to be more authoritative, but that already changes towards more balanced organizations that actually debate on their values.
