And most decisions of any kind are made emotionally, then explained with post hoc rationalizations. To magically seem logical and objective, you can withhold your decision until you've explained the rationalizations.
Consider also the typical engineering "which thing should we buy" matrix, which is often thinly masked biases of the author and arguing points against other views from the team. Consider also the rationalizations in design docs ("why we should make it like this") that barely seem to cover up the designer's favorite methods and tools that are actually driving things. We spend a lot of time/energy trying to seem logical when we're fundamentally not.
