My approach as the senior software engineer (but not the manager) of my team is to not debate everything, but to point out everything that I think is wrong, can be improved, or should be designed differently.

But then, I leave the developers and/or the manager to make their own decision and shoot themselves in the foot if they happen to make the wrong decisions.

This approach takes more time, but I think it improves the sense of ownership of developers and their maturity over time.
