For me this discussion is like bikeshedding
exactly! And the crucial point about bikeshedding discussions is that they are a natural human habit. I recommend to actually read Northcote Parkinson's book to get a better understanding about such kind of things. Whatever kind of "management / board / big-boss / emperor" may try to avoid bikeshedding discussions by making "well founded final decisions" but that fails in practice. The reason behind is that everybody can have a valid opinion about bikeshedding issues so that everybody can discuss bikeshedding topics while in contrast for complex issues only a few experts have a valid opinion and others may prefer to keep silent over the risk to make themselves look like idiots if they publish their "silly" opinion and when they have an opinion they may prefer to tell it only privately which results another interesting effect: rumors. In the end what I like to say is that one cannot work against natural human habits: If there is a bikeshedding issue, there must be a fair way to discuss it.
