It’s all about separation.

One person makes a “decision making framework” but doesn’t make any individual decision themselves.

Then another person makes the individual decision, but based on the decision making framework, so they feel no personal responsibility for the choice.





This is also, not incidentally, how police and military work, with dire consequences if decision makers are not aligned with non-enforcement non-military citizen ethics.
