> Any good-argument-driven based argument you attempt to make is almost always based on political motivating factors

If this is true in the case of a specific theory, then that is not a good theory.

I was mostly referring to business decisions. For that type of decisions there are always political factors at play (building empires, career growth, dislike for another person/team) that do not necessarily align with business success. Lehman Brothers is one of those examples.

You’re actually proving my point. Those so-called successful business decisions never turn out to be true enough to work long term. Like all knowledge, they are eventually shown to be false.

Data driven companies, like Amazon, tend to do better, on average than other companies. However, this doesn't mean they are immune to mistakes. At some point in time Amazon wil fall in decline and disappear, however, that doesn't imply that being data driven was a bad decision.
