Ah, this is interesting feedback. I think that there's some nuance to this approach that I didn't capture in the post. You have to have some level of trust between yourself and your boss, which you've earned over time by being right and/or fixing mistakes you've made if you were wrong.
The idea isn't to push the boss around; it's to make the boss' job easier by making default decisions for them, but letting them weigh in.
