This is definitely an inherited notion, and one that's quickly (at least in the tech industry) becoming more fuzzy. I get told routinely to push back against project managers if I feel their decision making is flawed. Thankfully, it's not as common an occurrence as it could be. Our PMs are pretty good at seeing product viability and have likely considered most angles that I'll only see as I'm working on it. But it all goes back to feeling empowered, and its up to your horizontal managers to give you that breathing room.
