No I agree it’s not. But, my experience from many years is: people want leadership that is confident, which way to go. Event though, it might not be the right (I wonder if there is ever a right way, because as you correctly say, the world is utterly complex)

Well, and that's precisely what we need to adress, some of the things people want. I firmly believe we should teach about this in schools. Knowledge about biases is very relevant to critical thinking, and critical thinking to a fairer society.
