Choosing to let the guy go could’ve been a conscious decision too. The lack of critical thought inherent to YOLO is more easily seen in abiding by a generally accepted policy that maybe wasn’t best suited for this situation. By all accounts, there needed to be some YOLO there because everyone else was suffering from paralysis through analysis.
The guys that did enter probably had a bit of YOLO. Sending someone that is so emotionally close to the situation doesn’t guarantee that they won’t be able to process any information and will absolutely be a detriment. Unless you have lots of examples of similar situations where that was proven, but I’ve asked for those examples twice already and have seen nothing.
I never advocated to hide from or ignore risk. I advocated weighing it differently.
