> I don't think it's "ego-belief that you know better" if a business says "we want to ship things faster, let's try doing X" and you see that X actually slows things down to then say, "hey let's not do X, it actually slows things down."

No, it's not. What is is when they say no and you persist in your belief. They said no for a reason, not grasping that reason or willfully ignoring it is a function of ego.
