Good Push Back

Right now the world changes faster than our mental models and systems. Asking "Why is ...?" is the best method to cut through the clutter of outdated thinking. The answer to that question often implicitly includes some combination of these statements:
"I hadn't thought about it."
"That is way it has always been done."
"Someone told me so."
"There is not a better way."

The mere act of making them explicit and named is the start of a better solution.
