Seniors often don’t like doing new things for the simple reason that they already know how to do things a different way and they don’t feel like learning something new.

and juniors like to make mistakes because that's how they turn into seniors.

The point is, and will continue to be, that a senior's opinion should be heeded or you disallow them from steering the ship away from the glacier that they know is there.

You can always justify everything with a reason. If your goal is to justify, then great, you did that. If your goal is to be effective, you need to stop trying to justify.

Do both groups favor turning every decision into a dichotomy? If so, maybe those aren't seniors after all.
