Hypothetically you could work at a studio where your director of production explicitly forbids doing retrospectives of any kind!!

“I mean, if the team WANTS the pit. I strongly CAUTION AGAINST IT but. They say they’re strong swimmers and have rappelled before. A few of them claim to ‘know parkour’ after playing Assassin’s Creed/watching that one The Office episode. Who am I to judge. I just have 30 years of experience.”

Usually the team also knows about the pit being bad so we're all just looking around the circle (or DMing eachother) but then a lead (disclaimer - not all leads of course) chimes in and is like "wow guys let's get excited about the pit"
