In layman's terms, but no less accurate:
A decision to do nothing... is still a decision. That is the point being missed, imho.
Perhaps a bit existential, but... The stage is set for doing the wrong thing when after a career of doing nothing, it feels as though, "something must be done..."
Lack of familiarity through "hands off" can lead to danger when necessary to "hands on"....rote, memory, feel, all are crusty from disuse, and not readily available in an emergent situation..
Machinbird, step in anytime....
