    just quit with the BS, man.

Literally impossible. There is something innate to the human spirit that demands that the real reasons for things always be as obscured as possible behind layers of spun sugar and cow dung.

I suspect it has to do with confidence. There is a Rogan quote from his last special that encapsulates this well.

    if you get ten really stupid people in a room, the most confident one just starts running shit. They don’t have to have any more information, they just have to be more confident. If you get a bunch of dummies together, they’re like, “I don’t know what’s going on.” “I don’t know what’s going on.” “I fucking do. I fucking do.” The guy doesn’t have to have any extra data, he just has to be the only one that’s confident.

Its better to fail fast than fail due to slow and lingering inaction. One leaves a lot of time to use to recover from a bad mistake and one doesn’t.
