Many PM or leadership have good ideas, or learn from competitors, but not all “looks obvious right” and “definitely valuable to our customers” are correct. The reason is still, we don’t have full data, we cannot get full feedback, we are not domain expert (up to date).

Specially as a platform, we cannot create something that works perfectly for every customers, and most of time if it works perfectly for one or two customers it would not act enough for most customers.

“Are Right A Lot”, I learnt it as I joint Amazon 10 yrs ago, but I really practically learn it at Snowflake. I have to hold one opinion, and I have to study the evidences why that opinion holds itself, and sometimes that opinion are not for technical correctness/beauty, not purely for logic correctness either, but the most generic good enough option for majority of our valuable customers.
