Does "we tried this already" count as conventional wisdom? 😝

This one hurts 😂 😭

Especially when there's no documentation to review what was "tried" or what the results were.

Yes, it's a problem because, what they don't say is when they tried it. This is the same fallacy as 'we've always done it this way'
