Having been in emergency situations as a guide I will tell you that I never
asked for a vote before making decisions.  In non emergency situations I
value the input of other guides, but when the s*_at_t is hitting the fan there
is no time for a committee.

After the situation there is plenty of time to second guess your decisions
to see if something could be done better the next time around.

Cheers,
