> "we designed X because X seemed the best option"... how informative

If that's the most they can say, I'd rather that be surfaced. Knowing the decision was made in haste, with shallow consideration, is better than wondering if it was. And actually, that's probably the right way to make some decisions, if they seem likely to have a small difference in value between the many options it doesn't make a lot of sense to burn too many cycles making sure of that.

Once decisions come around to bite you, you can start to look at whether the decisions that are actually proving costly were the ones that were made lightly.

At least, that's how I'm thinking about it before getting into the weeds of it.
