There are umpteen careerist assholes in corporate environments who reflexively shoot down everyone else's ideas who isn't senior simply to advance their and their friends' ideas to get credit and promotions instead. They refuse to listen honestly and double-down on "their way" with bullshit rationalizations how their ideas are "better". There is no convincing of anything or debating them publicly because it's contrary to their interests.

Politically-motivated adversarial "opposition" to "bad ideas" while silencing better ideas because of non-meritorious factors is distinctly far more troubling than shooting down genuinely worse ideas.
