“Use your better judgment,” the manager says.
Curious phrase. It implies a worse one is sitting nearby, waiting to be picked.
Nobody keeps two. There’s just the one, and it earns “better” when it agrees with ours.
The colleague who disagrees isn’t using worse judgment. They’re using theirs. Equally confident. Equally sure.
“Better” is usually a medal handed out afterward, once the scoreboard is in.
So when two smart people land in different places, which one was being wise?
And how would anyone know before Tuesday?
