It makes sense if you think about it. If you feel the same way about a thing when your emotions are at their worst/most uninhibited, at their best/most shrewd, and when they’re most vulnerable/scrutinized, it’s a pretty good sign they’re sincere.

Sure its pretty balanced and conservative but you forfeit any potential for rapid action, privacy and self-determination. I don't think the best writers write by quorum and referee.

The quote referred to this process for “the most important of their affairs”. For writing, surely that would mean sleeping on and vetting big new ideas, rather than the entire process?
