It's interesting to also think about why all these reasons are good/reasonable when making decisions.

Example: Incentives can tempt good people to push the boundaries farther than they’d ever imagine.

You often need incentives though to focus people in the right directionn.

Example 2: Tribal instincts reduce the ability to challenge bad ideas because no one wants to get kicked out of the tribe.

It's important to form a tribe, and to maintain its cohesiveness, otherwise you can't really get anything done.

And so on. It's good to consider both sides of each coin.

Regarding example 2, I've always found my personal tribe to be "those who challenge bad ideas." That is our tribe. Thus we stay cohesive as long as collectively never fear from challenging bad ideas.
