You need to minimise the debating. Especially if it shows to be based on assumptions.

Debating is also used as a human interaction tool for "feeling part of" or "being good enough" and it's especially clear in a startup and early company setting where everyone kind of tries to show their own merits to the rest of the group.

It's unhealthy to debate a lot and it's a clear sign that there is either too much uncertainty, too much ego, too little subjective evidence or simply too shallow leadership.

Debating should be very surgical and not attempt to either look into the future or favor the most outspoken.
