Realistically, yes. During exploration you need to be able to rapidly iterate and those who close off trees to exploration based on one or two leaf nodes are adding too much cost to the search function. But that's just the difference between exploration and exploitation. When you're discovering, you need a greater ability to differentiate between hard-stops "if I go that direction I fall off a cliff almost certainly" and explorable areas "if I go that direction I can make it work if I do these straightforward things". People have various levels of this, and I suspect it's based on risk and change tolerance.

Some can only operate like how things always were. Others will go right off the cliff. Life doesn't last long if you're the latter. And life isn't fun for me if you're the former. So it's just a question of finding a sufficient group who are at your appropriate spot in the middle and adjusting yourselves.

Overall, because of the much larger number of people online these days and the general meshing of various subcultures into common fora, I just apply filtering tech in order to retain this bubble of alignment among the chaos. I think it's more useful to watch the more-risky explorers than oneself, if only because ideas come out of there, though.

But those who always say "no" to something aren't useful to me. I have yet to encounter one whose ideas I haven't already thought of but have found a pathway that dodges the problem. Anyway, all of this is old ground, explored by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and_... and the subsequent business articles that recommend "Yes, and..." everything.
