I refuse to believe they wouldnt have seen this coming and the affects it could have.
Who is they here?
Usually in these kind of situations it goes like this:
Room full of yes men, the dumb boss, and a few subject matter experts and people who know what they are doing.
Those experts aren’t part of the crew, so they don’t fully sense the energy as they are mostly brought in when needed.
Some top military analyst explains the situation and provides best 3 actions, which isn’t met with enthusiasm and after some silence the dumb boss suggests a childish solution, like “why not just attack them until they give in?”
At this point the expert tries to politely explain why that’s a bad idea but is interrupted by the dumb boss followed by the yes men chiming in. The dumb boss makes a decision and the person who knew what they were doing is no longer part of the conversation.
