The context of "stop making reactive decisions" isn't "start making proactive decisions." It's to just make fewer decisions.
The specific example is of a rare event which, while regrettable, does not justify the cost of policy changes to prevent it.
- motorest 2y ago> The context of "stop making reactive decisions" isn't "start making proactive decisions." It's to just make fewer decisions. You don't get the luxury of not making decisions. You always have to make decisions.

The actual point stands, either way: Whether you do not make a decision, or you decide not to act, the outcome is the same--and it is often a better outcome than the result of reactive or proactive decision-making.
