    It’s so wierd of your boss to circumvent you like that. Either they listen to you and change the plans or they tell you that the plans are set in stone and will need to be carried out no matter the consequences.

    @LiquidOfLife When you employ multiple experts, the best way to eliminate their personal biases is to ask all of them about a possible modification. The mistake here is that the boss stopped at an answer he liked, which didn't eliminate the bias of wanting to please him.
