When you have a deeply critical eye, you are one of the few people that have a shot at perfection! Except, what happens if you can't fix the problem you've noticed? That's why you also need to be an optimist to see what's right and what's right with other things to use that as a guide to fix what's wrong.
If you're a critical person, you can obtain perfection if you can not be too.
If you made a past choice which didn't work out - if you made the choice with all your knowledge at your disposal, it wasn't a foolish choice.
Where is the line? Where's the right balance? By you wanting more freewill, someone is losing there's. By submitting to accountability you are putting your faith in others who may only hack have their freewill in mind.
Where's the good balance?
We're not looking for truth, we're looking to believe our own thoughts.

Using instinct or snap judgement is using past experience, thinking and dwelling over something is creating new experience.
Maybe I've been looking at education all wrong... I think it's a waste of time in a traditional sense, high fees, slow, old, rope learning, regurgitation... but maybe it's strength is it's structure, routine and accountability, thus freeing up our mind to take in more? If our will power is a finite resource drained by thought and choice, maybe it's good most choices are taken away so early on to free up space for an experienced teacher to fill it. Maybe!
