I think you’re reading into a hip fire comment here - I’m not saying I’ll override any decision you make that i disagree with. Simply that if push comes to shove my team should feel empowered to make a decision and bring it to me for “ass covering” knowing that I will challenge them on it if I disagree, but also feeling confident that they know how I’ll feel about it before they make that call. I trust them to do this without me there.

Blindly allowing someone to make a bad call without questioning it is as bad as overruling their call without any explanation!

If you have a team member you don’t trust to make good calls, then you need to coach them.
