[@zacharyharwell351]

Because everyone understands the concept of "when the expert speaks, listen and obey. There will be time later to question if need be."

[@hendyallen5993]

@zacharyharwell351 that is actually the problem in the military. Scenario, a Company is given a pot of stewy broth to be eaten. They are given a spoon, a fork, and a knife to eat with, and are told that they can go home as soon as this task is done. The First Sargent grabbed a fork and tells everyone to start digging in. Everyone else grabbed their fork and tries to get the broth to disappear, but it keeps going through the fork. A Private at the back says that he used to work in the restaurant industry and says that the spoon would work better. Everyone ignores him because the First Sargent is using the fork and he has a lot more military experience than the private. They are still at the company two hours past revelie and they still have a third of the broth to eat. The commander orders that next week leadership soldiers training is to be taught by the second lieutenant on the proper way to eat broth. This hyperbole is accurate with everything in the military except for Doc.

Ah yes, when the scientist is running, you follow while asking about the minimum safe distance. When the engenieer runs, you try to run faster, for the problem may have an unpredictable safety distance and the engi has likely a good head start. But when the reactor maintenance dude says "Oh god...", let alone is running, you pray, because there is no safe distance. Rank be damned. Just as you hand any of these guys whatever the frick they want if they look in enough of a hurry to fix something. Your life may very well depend on that patch job getting done asap. Medics are similar. If one takes a look at you and pales but starts calmly explaining, you are bad of but salvagable. If they just go real quite, you are on a propably rather short life timer, barring any medical miracles, and they just started trying to come up with that miracle. So if they give you instructions, you better follow them to the latter. They will not allow you to insult them and their efforts of keeping you alive, without making you regret ever having been born, since only that will make you cherish your life more, in their eyes. Rank means nothing when lives are at stake. Expertise and experience are all that matter in such cases.

Absolute authority, with highly limited scope. Utilitarian Authority is the most legitimate form of authority in a free society.
