A "use case" for PM's...

IMHO... there is a valid place for PM's in a public venue.
A PM is an opportunity to reach out to the other side to get clarity.

My personal view is... disagreement is not unhealthy.
Because consensus can only be reached when everyone is on the same page.

But being on the same page requires sorting out different perspectives.
But 1st it should be acknowledged that it's actually possible for two things to be correct @ the same time.

So in that context instead of percieved differences you end up with point of view.
Point of view is always the basis for a satisfying (non-tribal) conversation.

I have always believed that (in life) it is never what one wants but always how they want it that creates controversy.

Which brings us back to PM's . It is not possible to truly understand someone's intent unless you reach out.
If the point is to get someone's attention it is better to PM... then to move forward without the benefit of confirmed justification.
