Some work cultures are too conflict adverse. I think it comes down to personalities of course, I want to generalize it to West coast people being conflict adverse. In these examples, it's all the ra-ra cheerleading you'd find on Linked-In, everything is awesome and super fast shipping squirrel

In these situations I find conflict is buried rather than resolved in a calm & understanding way. Without the latter being the example, the incentives are to go along to get along - meanwhile there is no longer a mechanism to resolve a disagreement. Suddenly then in review, you're "that guy" that is delaying things, and the both reviewer and reviewee don't have a healthy culture to talk through the issues.

Sorry for the rant, I think the downvotes are a reaction to the shock that some teams can have healthy conflict and work through them - and it can look like yelling sometimes (often yelling is just that, yelling.. but when a team is actual friends with another - they will have their own unique ways to address conflict).
