Re:“It’s Easier To Ask Forgiveness Than To Get Permission” by fanzhang on Thursday June 21, 2018 @09:14AM (#17364747)
Wait, so as a professional harmony-seeker (having one role of arbitrator), you're against a quote that sacrifices harmony for something else?

No doubt the quote by itself it broad generality is not helpful. Does that quote apply to assault or murder? Definitely not.

The quote is probably most helpful is risk-averse, at least moderately dysfunctional bureaucracies, and where the forgiveness-asker is actually right.
