Future consequences. It's hard for a lot of people to see that A leads to B leads to C, when they are starting at X and jumping to L and then to Z. Maybe the more logical you are the more you can immediately see future consequences to actions. Or maybe it just takes experience.

I saw the consequences of the covid me-too freakout immediately when Trump banned air travel from Europe. First, it was stupid, since the virus was already in the US. Second, since I worked in logistics I knew this would start a supply-chain nightmare. Third, this was the a knee-jerk reaction (starting at X and jumping to L) for no reason other than an appearance of "doing something."

Like you said - all of the above can only lead to the wheels coming off.
