>Guess how much would get done if you learned to explain why that work is important to a non-technical colleague? Lots.

From my experience, this is more a cop-out than anything else. At some point I'd expect you understand children with a track record of doing as they are told and informing you of important details do not need to be strictly parented around every corner. To expect that very thing from adults with way bigger incentives to behave feels off.
