But it's largely a function of the hierarchy, in that I'm making the Michael Jordan comparison.
It's really not for Horace Grant to get in MJ's face about how the team plays. That's Phil Jackson's role. So if you're Horace, you go to Phil and you let Phil talk to Michael and sell things. In a unit situation, that serves a purpose. If Buffy is having that discussion with Giles behind closed doors, she isn't having it out with the people she really needs to follow her.
I recognize that there are a limited set of instances to discuss - but again - the reference is a bit hierarchy based and it's of a questionable degree to which they truly do compare.
Part of the issue is that my argument sprung from interaction with individuals who were a bit more absolutist and so I'm a bit farther off than I should be.
