here is what I was thinking -- in business (or war), parties can implement an unreasonable or illegal action in fact, then use time to rebuff others while making their position stronger.. or alternately simply pay gatekeepers or stakeholders while furthering their position, before others can actually stop the action. None of these or other scenarios involve a considered opinion by an impartial party with an effective implementation, in fact the key is to
avoid impartial decision while gaining an advantage (and income) in the ground
I do not disagree with what you said, only that in reality, this is not the only way business conflicts are decided.
