I agree with all of this, but the inverse is just as bad.

Incompetent people will always find a hiding spot through imitation. They will bikeshed and posture like they know what they're talking about. Then they rush anyway at the last minute and still make a mess, or they delegate to someone who will do the same.

The actual problem starts at the top of the organization. All it takes is one bad link in the chain and oversight is lost.
